It's their default alignment. Its not an inherent trait of the Orc, its a byproduct of the society they grow up in.When you have your white elements acting like Kharn the Betrayer when they stumble on an Orc village, and justify slaughter of Orcs simply because they're Orcs, I struggle to see how black and white the fantasy universe you're talking about really is.I mean Star Wars is black and white, and genocide or slaughter of a race simply because they're that particular race is evil. Even creatures like Trandoshans, Sand People and Gamorreans, all cultures nearly identical to that of Orcs in 5E.Luke Skywalker doesnt butcher them out of hand. He retaliates only in self defence or the defence of others. If he were to kill them out of hand, he'd be clearly evil.His father on the other hand, butchered a lot of Sand people. And not just the men...Is there any doubt that was an act of evil? These are people that enslaved and killed his mother remember.</blockquote>
