Most are habitations of intelligent beings. Most of whom are categorically defined as evil. Sure, a few are tombs... but that's the exception.Likewise, Tomb raiding isn't standard fare for WFRP, not TFT, nor T&T. I can't think of any for Traveller, Space Opera, or Spacemaster. (I never bought the Rolemaster adventures)If one considers monster races as having free will and bad upbringing, then the average dungeon crawler is a serial murder and robbery team event. Forcible entry into the home, slaughtering all within, and taking anything portable enough.As for tomb robbing... unless one posits an afterlife where grave goods matter, Tomb Robbing isn't generally harming anyone.As for squaring up? It varies. In D&D, I'm prone to treating Orcs and Goblins as inherently evil - limited to no free will, incapable of large scale cooperation.... Which makes them cheap kills morally.  I also usually avoid the issues that goblinoid children present in such circumstances, tho' if lacking true free will, slaughtering the children is the sane thing to do.</blockquote>
