I can do without fantasy British aristocracy in most settings. I don't hate dwarves and orcs as much because they have big obvious flaws, and flaws make things relatable and not just power trips. Generally, though, I prefer to just run all-human games - most of the classic archetypes associated with other races can be done just as well with a human character.Clerics - Priests as NPC are great background, but I don't like the idea of adventuring clerics at all, and they have a tendency to overshadow other PCs story-wise thanks to their built-in social/political connections. I also find D&D's "monotheism in a polytheistic world" to just be really strange and hard to relate to anything real-world. I don't have as much hate for Paladins, inquisitors, vampire hunters, and the like - those guys really should be running around the world with adventuring parties.</blockquote>
