[QUOTE="Northman, post: 1638681, member: 14062"] Let's not get into the issues of free will. We're dealing with the D&D alignment system here. Let's just say evil dragons are evil by nature and choice and leave it at that. Otherwise we'll open up a whole nother can of worms. Good characters expect that when they die they will go to live with their particular god in their plane of exsistance. Death is only a momentary condition. Good characters have no reason to fear it. If Naeron created "neutral" dragons and they went "bad," then why is he the god of "evil dragons?" He should be the god of neutral dragons. Which makes sense, it does fit Nearon as he is without changing much. Those that turned evil left his portfolio and only the neutral remain. That gets around a real problem which is going to arise. What does a lawful neutral cleric of Nearon do when he meets a good dragon? His god hates the good dragons and wants to see them wiped out. That means the cleric needs to at the very least seek the death of the good dragon, if not try and do it himself. Murdering a good dragon has got to be the most evil act a character can do, as far as killing a creature goes. THe cleric's neutral, but he's abliged to kill a good dragon... So if Naeron is the god of neutral dragons and does not actively seek the death of good or evil dragons, then he truely remains neutral. If he actively seeks the death of good draogns, he's evil.
