[QUOTE="Derren, post: 5922852, member: 2518"] And yet many people are opposed to have any PC race which is not a human in suit (see the various "Dragonborn should not be in the PHB because..." threads. Also, why do you automatically assume that a monster suddenly becomes human when it is given a motivation other than "do random evil things so that PCs can kill you on sight"? From reading all those threads I got the impression that many players want the following logic: "If it looks human, its neutral till proven otherwise. If it looks not like a human kill it on sight". Everything which goes beyond that, like giving monsters a motivation other than "be evil", is seen as waste of space or unnecessary complexity by those people. If someone wants to play such simple games, fine. But that should not be the default style of D&D. If it is, then you can throw out the RPG part altogether and finally make D&D completely into a dungeon board game. [/QUOTE]
