Racial prejudices
The things listed below are to be used as guidelines for how NPCs react to certain races:
- Some races are "Evil": Half-orcs, half-ogres, half-chromatic dragons, half-demons, drow, ogres, orcs, lizardfolk, evil giant types, liches, vampires, weres.
- This does not apply within their own race, though it might apply across to other "evil" races: Orcs mistrust half-demons, for instance.
- Heck, even half-demons mistrust other half-demons.
- Pixies and Fairies are "flighty". Even the ones without wings.
- Small races are patronized by larger ones
- Weres and Vampires are infected. Might be treated as contagious
- Ghosts can't be seen except by clerics with the right skills
- Mechanoids might also be considered infected
- Golems are treated as machines
- Satyrs, Nymphs and Wild Elves are "interesting"
- Dwarves like beer
- Elves like trees
- Humans like ~everything~ *eyebrow waggle*
- Half-elves are "lucky"
Specific interactions to consider:
- Who likes each other? Who doesn't?
- What kind of bonuses does this give them? Combat?
Interbreeding
- Humans and anything close to their size
- Half-gnomes? Half-halflings? Half-giants? What's too small or too large?
- Are all these playable?
- Dragons, Angels, Demons breed with any standard race and modify that.
