I'll try and answer with a question:
What's the [Evil] tag telling us?

The absurdity of poorly thought out rules made for the morally uptight can be astounding.
I can only believe that drug use was declared Evil in the BoVD because of a command from the higher ups so some idiot didn't read the book and decide D&D promotes drug use because it didn't say it was evil.
Us poor smokers. We're all hopelessly Evil. No hope for us at all. Every cigarette is an Evil act. One carton of Lucky Strikes and you're pretty much a Pit Fiend. Might as well give in and go out slaughtering babies.
Particle_Man said:Well the Book of Vile Darkness says this on [Evil] spells: "Tapping into evil power is an evil act in and of itself, no matter what the effects or the reason for using the power might be."
So using an [evil] spell is an evil act.
Just what I wanted to say (only better phrased, probably).Crothian said:Summoning the pixie is not evil. But having it do that is evil. On the other hand summoning a demon is evil. Having the demon build the orphage would not be. But that doesn't negate the fact that just summoning up a demon is evil.
That paragraph just screams for a rules-violating response. Thankfully I mad my Will-save, this time.Aaron L said:Us poor smokers. We're all hopelessly Evil. No hope for us at all.

Simm said:This seems hypocritical to me. A spell with the good descriptor can easily be used for evil, harming innocents etc., but a spell with the evil descriptor is always evil. It is defiantly easier to commit an evil act with a evil spell than to do it with a good spell but that in no way precludes doing good with an evil spell. It is the intention of the doer that is important.
