[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 8855530, member: 6901101"] I honestly don't see why both can't exist. As long as language is used that avoids real world racist ideology, then a cursed race that feels compelled to follow an evil god's ways can also be a PC. In my opinion, freewill exists in all species in D&D. Even the yuan-ti. But that doesn't mean the aggregate of the species doesn't use their freewill to do evil things. Which could be part of the description. Here the problem with the argument to say PCs being the evil species is a problem. PCs are the exception in [I]everything[/I]. It even says it in the PHB. They are the exception in attributes. They are the exception in their ability to learn their class powers. They are the exception to be able to communicate with their deity or touch a plane of magic. They are even the exception of their species, if you take innate magical abilities. So why can't they be the exception to an alignment. And as a side note: I agree, alignment is part of the problem.
