[QUOTE="plisnithus8, post: 7421880, member: 6870553"] In a fictional world such as D&D, to make absolutes that proclaim some things are okay in regards to humans (just one a multitude of the player race options) different than animals and monsters is opinion. Sometimes you have substituted "person" for "human." Mechanically, because this is a game, "person" is not something that exists. Human does exist, but I believe you have it meaning something different than person. The word animal is used ambiguously - "beast" being the mechanical term. Even the term "monster" is ambiguous since humanoids are considered a type of monster (and we've already mentioned the Monstrous Adventurers such as Orcs in Volo's Guide; plus elves and others are one of the entries in the Monster Manual). You may believe that humans have a right to cut off a rhinos horn. Others may disagree. I don't need you to help me understand the difference between a monster and a person. But again, this is pretty far off my initial point which is: It really shouldn't be unheard of for an evil PC to consider doing something evil like cutting off a minotaur's horns. I don't want to hijack this thread with more off topic conversation so will refrain from more responses. If you'd like to continue, I'd be happy to respond if you want to make a different thread.
