(That said, there's a whole debate to be had from your second sentence... but that would also get into real-world politics and would be radically off-topic, so I'll pass.)Right, bandits and raiders can have sophisticated motivations. But it's also fine if they're treated as automatically bad, right? Because you can assume from the label that they're hostile.So a band of halfling bandits and goblin raiders could safely be treated as bad guys without deeper thought? And it wouldn't mean anything essentialist?So you're opposed to any default traits being described for monsters, be they species traits or cultural traits? I assume you'd prefer blank slates beyond the statblocks? (You wouldn't be the first person I've seen with that view on these boards.)</blockquote>
