[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8328273, member: 6801845"] So "causes problems" means "I don't like it". How is that a problem outside of your personal preference? It's a rather circular argument: I don't like it because it causes problems, the problem it causes is that I don't like it. Alignment for race is just a default. If you have descriptions of race X that includes things like they're "...savage raiders and pillagers ... that satisfy their bloodlust by plundering villages, devouring or driving off roaming herds, and slaying any humanoids that stand against them", how is it any worse to label their alignment as CE? It should be much clearer that these behaviors and alignments are just a default and can and should be changed as DMs and authors see fit. But unless you eliminate every negative description of every monster in the MM I don't see why it makes a difference. [/QUOTE]
