[QUOTE="Ace, post: 8345540, member: 944"] The problem with D&D alignments is that Evil doesn't always mean raving monster. Its means selfish, power hungry, cruel. Unp;leasant traits Treating every encounter as they were mindless killers is not bad gaming at least for me. Its just boring. Sure Evil can Eeeyargh Bloodfeast demon of a thousand slaughters or a causal killer Nine Eyes Raken (CE) , it can a self absorbed necromancer with no regard for the sanctity of life and death caring only his experiments or it can be a selfish Mountebank based Gordon Gecko (NE) It can be a dreadful orc enforcer or a charming slaver who believes the weak must serve the strong (LE) Thus whole Ancestries being one alignment or nearly all of them (remember Drizzt was almost a novelty) is fine if you play sentient thinking as such. And note a lot of people aren't playing D&D for nuance, just fun so always evil orcs will be fine with many players [/QUOTE]
