My primary concern was stoping poor roleplayers from being even more poor roleplayers. What am I telling is that an elf would never agree to use orcish clothes (even if they are better then his own), but a poor roleplayer would if that makes his character stronger.
I cant for sure say it's the case other way around (ie. if an orc gets elven boots +3 we wouldnt mind wearing it). But to make things somehow even, I will presume that evil races would be lawful, not chaotic, and they would respect the "code of honour" or whatever, that would prevent them using light people's equipment.

But, since I dont really see no way of easily handling this, I shall take advice of few folks and make no !GOOD and !EVIL flags on things. (heh! suppose now I had elf wearing 40% of orcish equipment on him. every time he encounters someone, that someone passes an INT test or whatever, and could take this elf for an orc and attack him... hmmmm)
