[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8331315, member: 63508"] I consistently assume they make or decline changes based on data and not gut feelings, personal desires, or unresearched backlash. My point is that the lore is based on alignment. Drow are chronic backstabbers because that what a group of CEs do to each other (aka demons) Orcs are shortsighted selfish raiders because that is what CE savages do (aka demons) The problem is CE demons are immortal, don't eat, and their power is collectively conserved and it is hard to sap energy from the fiendish feedback loop. It doesn't make sense for CE humaniod nations whose members eat, die, and don't come back after death. Prescribing alignments on nations only make sense in epic fantasy AND it sometime it doesn't even work there. This needs to be taught. Before last year, most of the anti-alignnment discussions I've seen were either story/lore related or restriction related. "Drow are poorly written" and "Menzoberranzan doesn't make sense" are old conversation starters. People are people. They will op for removal of they don't like over change. Only those who like the item will suggest adaption. [/QUOTE]
