[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 4657475, member: 463"] My orcs are both spawn of the dark god [I]and[/I] posssessed of free will - they have an evil culure, they usually tend towards evil, but they are not automata. In terms of the greater good, killing baby orcs is a greater good than letting them grow up to attack human or elf settlements, but raising them to be good would be a much greater good still. IMC humans, elves, dwarves are created by the good god, but are corruptible, and many have been corrupted. Halflings are highly corruption resistent as in Tolkien. Orcs, goblins etc are created by the evil god, but just as the good races are corruptible, the evil races are redeemable. Indeed recently IMC a PC priest of the Unconquered Sun (the good deity) preached to and converted some goblins, at least temporarily, before setting them free. Gygax would say he should have converted them then killed them to prevent backsliding, but that doesn't sit well with me. [/QUOTE]
