I'm not TOO familiar with Palladium's Fantasy RPG. but even in that,
despite allowing Orc Characters, weren't the Orc's still the "bad guy"? By
normal, viable race, I meant a race that WASN'T considered evil and
perfectly alright to slaughter at will...:]

True, but once again... How many are Orc's simply "another race", rather
than being an Evil Race?
