This really highlights the fact that Perception has been a problem since early D&D, when it was briefly its own... [...]

  One of the toughest parts of role-playing a non-human character is to give that PC a distinct cultural identity. We often play ever character of every race as if they were born and raised in the Human world. For many races this isn’t a big deal because their societies will parallel Humans’ in many... [...]
