[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 8029760, member: 7635"] So let's flesh this out. We don't want humanoids to have racial alignments, be it positive (CG elves) or negative (CE orcs). An individual NPC will have an alignment, but the default statbock in the MM will not. This is a given. 1.) Does this apply to giants, trolls, ogres, minotaurs, and other near-human monsters? 2.) Does this apply to "alien"-minded creatures like lizardfolk, yuan-ti, and sahuagin? 3.) Does this apply to undead, especially sentient undead like liches, vampires, and mummies? 4.) Does this apply to lycanthropes when under the influence of the moon? 5.) Does this apply to aberrations like mind-flayers and beholders? 6.) Does this apply to overtly-aligned planar entities like angels, demons, and devils? 7.) Does this apply to nonoverly-aligned planar entities like djinni or efreeti? 8.) Does this apply to humanoids who happen to live on a plane, such as shadar-kai, eladrin, or githzerai/yanki? 9.) Does this apply to dragons, in regard to good chromatics and evil metalics? 10.) Does this apply to creatures that lack the intelligence to make a moral decision, like constructs, oozes, and beasts? (All technically have are listed as unaligned)? [/QUOTE]
