[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7963025, member: 6801845"] Where? Where does it say that other than the standard "the DM can change things if they want"? Are you referring to: [INDENT]The alignment specified in a monster’s stat block is the default. Feel free to depart from it and change a monster’s alignment to suit the needs of your campaign.[/INDENT] That's just spelling out standard "do what you want" rule to me. As far as orcs being "usually" evil and demons being "always" evil ... there's nothing in the text that says that either that I can find. They have different origins. Orcs are created by an evil deity as a tool to seek revenge. Demons are spawned by the abyss. They are both creatures created by an evil power for a specific purpose. Orcs live to wage an endless war on humans, elves, dwarves, and other folk. Demons exist only to destroy. The big difference to me is that orcs form tribes and are threats on the prime material plane. Demons can act more as individual operators and with more subtle means. But both seek destruction. Both, by the rules, are just as evil. This can, and is, overridden in specific campaign worlds. [/QUOTE]
