The only naive mistake on any players’ part would be playing with this guy in the first place

    I actually really like this use for alignment, as the thembo that has been laughed away from several online games because I like the concept of Drow trying to leave the surface world in a better state for the next one to escape the Underdark. The slow death of racial alignments has been so fucking vindicating.

      I remember playing DnD with my bf’s parents and family friend, all old school players, and they were all baffled that I wanted to play as a kindly full orc druid. The dm was so unprepared for me to try and talk to the bugbears we encountered that they genuinely didn’t have any story planned for them.

        a kindly full orc druid

        I imagine this has a lot of the same potential intersections that my tiefling druid concept had and I adore this concept if you were really gonna lean into how prejudiced most druidic groves tend to be presented where goblinoid and orc-adjacent races are concerned; and how this prejudice isn’t borne of Silvanus at all-- but man, if a DM admitted to me that they had nothing for an action a non-murderhobo would take, maybe it’s just my being used to Fallout-style DM’ing; I think I’d lose a degree of respect for their pen. Like fuck, at least improv something.
