Message: <blockquote data-quote="WayneLigon" data-source="post: 9577513" data-attributes="member: 3649">The way orcs/goblins/trolls/any giant/goblinoid creature works for my current world is this: These are all the same creature, really, created hundreds of years ago as a slave race by the Imperial Wizard's Guild. Variations in diet and other factors shape the basic template to create the different speciation. Originally they had a top INT of about 5 or 6, and were sexless as Ken dolls. The Empire finally hits up against an enemy it can't just roll over, and things change. Someone gets the bright idea of making the goblinoids smarter and capable of breeding to speed up training and reproduction, so they can use their favorite tactic of 'throw all the bodies at the enemy' in the new wars. This backfires. Most goblins, giants, etc are 'evil' in that they hate and loathe humans, elves, dwarves, etc for enslaving them.</blockquote>
