[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 882913, member: 1125"] My current campaign set in Mythic Polynesia means that Dwarfs are unknown and halflings if encountered would not be recognised (would in fact be confused with Elves). Goblins on the other hand are well known (and a PC race). Generally however I agree with the sentiment that any PC available races should be recognisable (be they PHB or Homebrew addition - like Goblins). I also think Dragons as a class (ok Type) will be recognised from legend (but PCs will confuse Wyverns and even Behir as Dragons the first time they meet them). The same general idea applies to Giants to - PCs will recognise the [i]idea of giants[/i] but any Humanoid creature more than 8ft tall will be considered a giant too (ie Ogres and Trolls maybe even Bugbears) That means that IMC, in any area where goblins aren't a PC race, the term [b]Goblin[/b] will be applied to Gobs, Hobgobs and Orcs and maybe even a few other things like Grimlocks. Kobolds are described as [b]Lizardmen[/b] as are Troglodytes and possibly even Yuan-Ti and Sahuagin I might even describe Trolls as [i]terrible demons that rise from the swamp![/i] What I really like doing though is having a Farmer show up yelling that his Cow Bessie has been carried of by Ogres then to have the PCs show up and discover it was a troll!
