[QUOTE="Quasqueton, post: 882665, member: 3854"] When I DM, I take it for granted that the PCs can easily/immediately recognize some creatures. But I see that some other DMs don't beleive this way. Most DMs seem to allow recognition of the standard PHB races -- humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, gnomes, and the half-breeds. But some don't allow recognition of the other "standard" humanoids -- orcs, goblins, kobolds, hobgoblins, gnolls, and bugbears. I'm wondering, how many of you consider that the PCs would/could easily identify the "standard" creatures of the world? I beleive most PCs would know any of the PHB races plus the standard humanoids I've listed above. When PCs encounter them, I identify them by name. Even if the PCs haven't personally met a hobgoblin or kobold, surely they have heard enough of them to recognize one on sight. I also consider ogres to be easily identifiable. Do you allow immediate recognition of the "standard" races? Quasqueton [/QUOTE]
