[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8330928, member: 23751"] I didn't go for any option, because I was talking from the position of DM, not a player. And yes, usually monsters are bad, because game. Not always, but usually, and that includes orcs. Orcs aren't all evil in my game and never have been. Stop assuming things, such as "alignments are bad." If you don't like them, don't use them, but they are not bad in my game. Nor are they bad in tens of thousands(probably much more) of other games in which alignment just isn't a problem at all. I didn't say it was better. I just said that it happens and that nobody captures orcs, because they are orcs. I don't have to. The burden of proof(and there isn't any) is on you for making the claim. When you provide what you think is proof of "laziness," I will then refute it. Until then, lazy isn't happening. I didn't say that. I said more orcs were bad than other alignments in encounters. It's a game designed around killing bad guys and monsters to get levels, so the majority of encounters are going to be with bad guys. That's just how it goes. Perhaps that's because I agreed with him on his other points there, just like I posted in my response to him. Nice Strawman. I didn't say anything about non-evil beings and how I would run them if they became hostile. So first, I said I've seen people kill orcs for being orcs, not that it happens a lot in my games. Second, nobody said anything about capturing and interrogating someone because you don't like their answer or they yelled at you. I can't even fathom where you got that from. Please start responding to what I am saying, and not what you are imagining that I might mean. Okay. I gave two possible CE responses, not all possible CE responses. No. That's just your misinterpretation of it, as evidenced by the Strawmen I keep encountering from you. See above. [/QUOTE]
