[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 886128, member: 317"] How about this: The PCs are goblins/orcs/bugbears/ogres/etc that are outcasts from their tribe(s) for various reasons. One of the PCs is a shaman who recieves a vision of how they can redeem themselves in the eyes of goblinkind by undertaking a quest. Perhaps something like reclaim a goblinoid artifact held by elves, or taking a dwarven outpost, etc. Here is the fun part- since the PCs are outcasts, they might have VERY atypical occupations for their races. Imagine an ogre rogue who isn't all that stealthy, or a kobold berserker who thinks he is invincible. Maybe goblin druid who has tons of animal pets, or a bugbear monk who tears opponents apart limb from limb. Perhaps a gnoll bard who "barks at the moon" (sorry, that was bad :D ). The idea is, give the players something REALLY different to try. The quest can be as easy or hard as you deem it needs to be, but the fun part will be seeing how PCs with different types of goblinoid outcasts can co-exist long enough to make themselves heroes to their peoples, and reclaim their lost status.
