IMO, having a race that is inherently good or lawful is just as bad as having a race that is inherently evil or chaotic, if not quite so obvious.We should be looking at the near-human races (drow, orcs) and also monstrous races such as dragons, outsiders . . . . any creature that is sentient and could be considered people, we should re-examine how we treat that creature/race.There was a pretty good Order of the Stick cartoon about a not very evil dragon whose children were murdered and made into equipment by the adventurers, this dragon was driven to become the evil nemesis that the adventurer's assumed it was in the first place. It was hilarious, but also thought-provoking.</blockquote>
