Should insectoid species be the Lawful Good equivalent of an Orc horde?>Contain vast numbers>Not much in the way of organization but still move in large packs>Surprisingly industrious despite lacking a clear command structure>Rapidly breeding>Possess natural weapons and a hardy exoskeleton that makes them okay fighters even without equipment>Tend to live in dense burrows or hives>Collectivist mindset that emphasizes the good of the colony above all else
Is your species eusocial? Clanlike? Hermits? What ecological niche does the insect they are based on fill? How advanced are they?
>>93923418Depends on the system.
>first two posts are bumpfag and dotsfagI hear you, though, OP. Non-evil insectoid species are cool. I have them in my spess setting. Too bad we can't have them in current climate without some faggot going "lmao [insert Asian nationality it's cool to hate this month]"
>>93923418>should insectoid species beDepends on the insect
>>93923418This exists, it's called a Formian.
>>93923418Should insectmen be able to reproduce (breed) human, elven women?
>>93923418I would call that, at base, Lawful Neutral. "Good of the colony" doesn't necessarily translate to moral capital G Good. They'd be a very insular culture with their own priorities, often to the exclusion or at least disregard of outsiders, that may not align with the good of the world overall. I think their community-focused, industrious nature and hierarchy do make them a shoe-in for Lawful though.
>>93926979Should you end your life (yes)
>>93928917Yeah, this
If you have insectfolk you might as well make the whole thing nothing but different insects because there is enough variety in them to recreate the archetypical races.
>>93923418what about poland!
>>93923418Lawful yes, good no. "Good of the community over the individual" isn't capital G Good.
