[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 6709218, member: 891"] I usually like half-orcs that were either the process of a normal family mix, or who's Orc parent was captured by humans. Then again, even before WoW and playing Horde, I looked at the DnD races and alignments and felt I'd rather look at them from a different perspective. If I were in a game that included the Minotaur options I saw popping up in 4E (or was it a Pathfinder book, not sure) or Unearthed Arcana - than I'd be all over that. Especially since in mythology the Minotaur was a benevolent guardian warrior of the people of Minos and Troy, until the Greeks conquered them and distorted their mythology as propaganda (must as the Naga is a guardian spirit in Hindu, and has been corrupted in DnD, or some earlier source, for its western take. Someone I know is named Naga, and this is considered to make her very lucky and protected - I'd play a Naga creature if the angle on them was done right). Dreadlocks does not make a Rastafari. You'd never find one of us as a DnD Adventurer because we're a pacifist religion. And not all of us have locks. Dreadlocks have many sources around the world, predominant both among Hindu mystics and various African groups. But the modern take as associated with Rasta began as a recognized thing when an elite unit serving under Emperor Selassie (aka Ras Tafari) swore not to cut or comb their hair until the Italians had been successfully repelled out of Ethiopia - the mid 1930s.
