Subject: definitions of humanoids
> Speaking of definitions, it seems to me that the characteristics of orcs
in

> moderately more rambunctious) equate more with half-orcs in old AD&D than
> true orcs, which seem more primitive, bestial and outright nasty.
> Actually, there is a flavour of that overall in that humanoids (as opposed
> to demihumans) in AD&D were more evil/primitive. Apart hobgoblins who seem
> similar in both. Goblins are canny merchants in one, cannon fodder nasty
> minor villains in the other. Also reptile men/ lizard men (copyright
issues
