I have had a few innocedents the last few days with a few players. So I thought I would just put this up. If its in the wrong place my apologies. My char is an Aasimar Druid and he is a raciest. If I see any drow running openly on the surface, Its my pleasure and duty as a druid to see things put back into balance and send you back underground where you belong one way of another. This being if your not wearing a full helm and you just have a pice of cloth covering your hair then your pretty much dead to me. I'm sorry but the tin can head is the price you have to pay for playing a drow. By playing a drow you have already concented to pvp so there is no need for me to ask first. You will be set to hostile then killed to maintain the balance of things. I dont RP that your char has been killed but just some random drow on the surface unless you wish to other wise. I will not attack you again for 24 hours RL time unless you engage me. This applies to the Gray dwarves and being an Aasimar this also applies to teiflings if I see any. You belong down below the underdark and that is where I will put you Just thought I would put this out there.

Anyway, I agree with your methods. Down with the drow!!!

From dictionary.com:
Good opportunities for RP there.
Agree with the stated approach towards Drow all kidding aside. For a race everyone on the surface fears, they get far too much leniency when they should be drawn and quartered on sight IMO.

I'm not saying a "witch hunt" on all helmed disquised drow just the ones who chose to leave their face uncovered and anyone think hoods cover their faces.
Just fyi spell checker don't catch all spelling errors QQ

One more thing to note.. if you emote *smiles* or *scowls* when you are a hooded drow that says your hood covers your face.. well you might as well be saying that you showed your face. How else would I know you scowled at me?

I angrily move my eyes toward you, the muscles tensing and relaxing within the 2" thick bone which retains my complex innards while various neurons fire, imparting the intricate knowledge of the vast universe around me focused upon the length of armpit hair you have whilst stretching.
Aneurysm.

I just avoid the whole situation to avoid the whining.
*sniffle* "But I had a hood on." *sniffle sniffle*
It's just not worth the hassle. Personally, I don't think a helm should even protect your identity if you are with someone for more than ten minutes. There are idiosyncrasies and cultural habits that would easily betray you to someone with even the slightest knowledge of Drow culture. The biggest of which would probably be your atrocious verbal accents when trying to speak common. I can't speak Russian but I'd probably be able to pick out a Russian person from their accent.
I applaud some players though. I have had my Moon elf questioned as to his origins and even my deep gnome was stopped cuz someone thought he might be a short drow. LOL

Pretty heavy racism there if you attack tieflings on sight though. I mean, they can't really be blamed for their fiendish blood anymore than your character can be blamed for his celestial heritage. The Drow I can understand, I suppose Duergar and Svirfneblin as well (Aiee! Midget dark elves!) but the tieflings, not so much. That's like taking down genasi because their respective elements are dangerous. Of course, if that's the way your character works, so be it. But unless he's a massive, hypocritical bigot you might want to consider that tieflings aren't necessarily evil.
On the subject of recognising Drow while they're wearing hoods/helmets: Consider that the Realms have a veritable multitude of nations and cultures, many of which are quite foreign to residents of the Sword Coast? Would you really be able to tell the difference between an Underdark accent and a Thayan one? Or an accent from the Far East, for that matter?

Yeah, the whole accent thing.. since the FR doesnt have TV, radio, and the internet to shoot voices across the world (yes, magic might do that but very limited) its not likely that anyone would have the knowledge of the various accents unless they are VERY traveled.
You might know a russian accent from a crowd, but 200 years ago if I blindfolded Daniel Boone in a room with an Italian, a Russian, a German, and a Arab... I dont think he would know who was who.
ON EDIT: But yeah I think it should be second nature for any 'good' character worth their salt to attack a drow on site..

I play a drow and have no problem with you attacking him on sight if I so happen to slip up but I disagree with your take on tieflings. I play a CN tiefling and he does a lot of good things as he does bad and isn't necessarily evil. An attack on a tiefling should be looked at as an attack on any other race and the fist should deal with them accordingly since despite personal ambiguities of them they are not all considered evil and are allowed into BG just as Gensie are.

Not if you're aasimar. Its a racial hate. Something like the ranger's favored enemy.
