[QUOTE="GreenTengu, post: 6752169, member: 6777454"] You are presuming it has to be homebrew. As in every single published D&D setting it makes sense in. So basically you have never heard of Ravenloft (no Orcs or Goblins unless they are individuals who wound up there by accident), Dark Sun (no Orcs or Goblins), Dragonlance (No Orcs), Planescape (Too cosmopolitan for there to be any racial animosity), Eberron (Dwarfs have no particular beef with either Orcs nor Goblins), Al-Quadim (There wars between races there). Quite frankly, the number of settings in which it makes no sense for Dwarfs to be trained specifically to murder those select particular races greatly outnumber those where it makes any sense. Moreover, it frankly says something about a person who would imply that a supposedly "good" race would be universally physiologically or culturally necessarily trained to genocidally exterminate members of a different race to the degree that every single last member would be specialized in killing them. But, as I said-- it is an easy fix. You just say that this particular class specializes in fighting whatever happens to be the thing that generally poses the greatest threat to their clan and open it up for the player and DM to decide what sort of creature that might be rather than imposing something and suggesting that it requires a houserule to a houserule to fix this?
