| Just based on what was said here it seems as though that would be created to remove the common actions based on a racist sterotype. I.E. general action upon sighting said goblin is to attack as generally they are evil. Changing that to removing the general "goblins are evil and to be killed" stereotype wouldn't be to create confusion, but more to enhance the roleplaying aspect of every encounter with them. It seems like a good idea to me. If EVERYONE who was playing a good or neutral character, ALWAYS was aggressive towards "evil" species, no matter whom it was of those species, it destroys a large number of possible avenues in adding said species to the game. If your constant reaction to seeing an ogre was to kill it, and the DM wanted it to be peaceful and hand you a map to find a key to some treasure, and you burned it beyond recognition for being an ogre, you lose said key (melted) and destroy chances of even knowing about the treasure, ruining the whole purpose of this ogre to exist. Seems like an attempt to make players think more, and interact more with everything they encounter. Confusion in that situation seems more like a lack of creativity to me.  |
