Imagine having, I dunno, a Kender type creature in a group. Said creature has no concept of personal property. Then have in that same group a creature who's entire culture is based on a rigid adherence to laws, and considers theft abhorrent, and said culture applies swift hard justice.If those chars are truly RP'ed, one of those chars either is killed by the other char, or leaves the party in some manner. The entire concept of the chars in a group not sharing, or at the very least, understanding a common set of cultural values, and then playing around within the periphery of that set of values whatever they might be, is ludicrous.  The real world for all intents and purposes has one sentient species, with hundreds of cultural groups within that species. A sane person only has to look at the news to read of the lethal clashes that occur on a daily basis when one culture crashes into another. And that is within one species. To suggest that the idea of RP'ing other species, which would have even more divergent cultures, and mash them together into a coherent group is simply wrong. As you said, we all play humans in the game, that happen to look different and have different abilities.</blockquote>
