[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7294925, member: 6802951"] Its really depends on the setting that you run. I run Eberron, in which most of those races are regarded with a little suspicion in the more provincial areas, but as long as they abide by the laws and pay their taxes they're considered citizens. Lizardmen would be more unusual, and would probably be questioned, but as long as they behaved, there would not be an issue. Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms (the default 5e setting) are a little less accepting. A goblin, orc, or drow presenting itself to the city gates and requesting to be let in may well be regarded with suspicion. If they can't give good reasons, or no one else vouches for them, then in areas that have had trouble with that race, the character might be barred from entry or provided an escort. City gatesmen taking it upon themselves to murder someone asking peacefully for entry into the city? That sounds like something specific to your own setting. Its unusual enough that you should make it known that your setting differs from the norm in regards like that. Its one thing to be interested to play a character of an unusual race against type and to see if they can rise above prejudice of others. Its another to create a character with that concept and then find that the race has a 'kill on sight' label in the area that you have set the adventure. [/QUOTE]
