Yes these would be effected. > Orcs are PCs and necrophiles are to far away to really matter. The word "necrophile" means a person who is obsessed with having sex with corpses, you mean "necrolyte" :) Let's unite our concepts, what most people, including most fantasy rpg systems and all the older developers, mean by "monster" is a creature that is "unnatural" and/or "evil". Examples are dragons, demons, the undead etc. All the "natural", "non-evil" creatures such as all the animals found in OUR world are "animals", be it carnivore or herbivore. "Player races" are the intelligent creatures that can be played by normal players. And, finally, "NPCs" are computer-controlled members of a player race. Ok? -- _/_ /Atte "Yorkaturr" Koivula <yorkaturr@majik3d.org>
