[QUOTE="AnotherGuy, post: 8487637, member: 7029930"] I find the text creatively inspiring - I'm imagining playing an orc who (1) has for whatever reason decided to travel a different path to his/her brethren, having to constantly battle with his/her innate tendencies using 5e's PIBF to expand on that. And hopefully arrange through one's DM to flesh that out the journey where the character finally severs the bond to their progenitor. (2) has embraced their violent tendencies forever seeking their creator's approval and blessings, hoping to elevate their standing, but perhaps their journey one day takes them on a path of enlightenment and the desire to follow their inborn tendencies puts them in direct conflict with another personal desire, forcing the orc to make a difficult character-defining choice. (3) views the savage mind as the purest form of expression, unadulterated by ego and greed - in so doing the character fights to maintain that clarity against artificial desires which he/she sees in other races which he/she deems as perversions and so tries desperately to communicate/pass on his/her belief to others and free them from their poisonous shackles. Where you see something repugnant I see opportunity. [/QUOTE]
