| One has to remember that one of the biggest problems with alignments is that it is personal and in the eye of the beholder (not that beholder). Gnolls proberly view adventures/PCs as evil, because they attack, pillage, maim Gnolls and their homes. Thus they are permitted to attack on sight.
I think it is much better that one actually has to base his actions upon what is happening, instead of a percived notion.
And as Aegis says - Kobolds that attack everything would still be "fair game" - now there would however be a reason to hunt them.
I've always found alignment to be a confusing element in gameplay of D&D games and one of the topics most open for debate.
Everything that can be done with alignment in system, can be done without it - withouth removing any elements of D&D.
It just adds some more possiblities to the players, which I can see many roleplaying consequences of. |
