[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9890265, member: 23751"] There's a huge number of them, though. Not just a few. I've been looking at how the 1e Greyhawk set calculates populations. The population listed is human only, and the humanoid and demi-human populations are based on that. So Greyhawk city has 58,000 humans in it. Let's say the humanoid and demi-human populations of fighting males is 10%. The number of women, children and eldery would be at least twice that, so 30% which would be 17,400 humanoids and 17,400 demi-humans inside the city proper. That's 58,000 humans, and 34,800 non-humans. 37.5% of the population is non-human. 18.75% of the population would be humanoids. That's a lot of evil beings to allow inside the city where it would be easy to rampage and cause a lot of death and destruction. It's far more likely that the vast majority of these particular humanoids are not evil. Not necessarily good, but not evil, either. [/QUOTE]
