[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 8536174, member: 3867"] I tend to run Dragonlance, so it's a non-issue for the most part. Both do not exist on Krynn. While drow have been mentioned a few times, those are considered to be either dark elves (evil outcast elves) or kender tales (i.e. the drow from [URL='https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17375/DLS4-Wild-Elves-2e?affiliate_id=2126']DLS4 Wild Elves[/URL]). That being said.... Drow and orcs as always evil is a bit boring. I think it depends on the society. In Menzoberranzan, I expect them to be evil, with the occasional exception to the rule like Drizzt. However, it would be refreshing to see some other take on them. Evil drow have kind of become a tired old cliche. Plus, as they are problematic in-world, you may not be allowed to play one. That happened to me once. As for orcs....zzzzz.... They make fine foot soldiers in Lord of the Rings. However, I would like to see some culture to them. In Sovereign Stone, for example, orks (note the spelling) were representative of water and they were excellent seafarers. Make these races interesting. Vanilla goblins were a snooze-fest. What Paizo did with them was genius. [/QUOTE]
