okay i am trying to humor you but ONLY YOU think war is the other side of this not me.
Again, that's the end result of the idea you're putting forward, that Good wizards are bound by their alignment to oppose Evil wizards. That level of "no compromise, only opposition" leads to war.
don't start a war then... but don't work with evil
So you're saying they should just ignore Evil wizard and let them do whatever they're going to do?
if they risk there lives to take the test they are part of 'brotherhood' with evil and has to protect them... no thanks
They don't have to protect them, at least not individually. They have to protect magic as an order, including its practitioners.
except it appears to be what WotC is doing, removing alignment robe restrictions... and class too.
Can you cite a source for that?
nothing... that's the game. Good guys vs Bad guys....
For adventurers, yes. But in terms of world-building it's a little more complicated than that.
but would they once you removed the support of the good guys?
The answer is an unequivocal yes; or do you not think there are evil fighters, evil priests, and evil thieves?
if that was the case then every setting ever is doomed/
I don't know about "every setting ever," but there's a reason why most don't feature an active, ongoing war. Even Greyhawk limited that to a single boxed set (that was more of a board game than anything else) and then ended it to focus more on individual PCs.
evil is BAD... how can we not agree on that!?!?!? Good people don't allow bad people to do bad things.
I agree that evil is bad, but I don't agree with the idea that anything less than a full-throated attempt to stamp out evil isn't Good.
it did many editions and decides ago, I doubt it will going forward.
Maybe, maybe not. But whatever it will be, we're talking about what it
could be now.
no it doesn't. Evil people commit more evil then good. an Organization that is empowering magic that allows EVIL people to be themselves and be evil is not good. full stop.
Now maybe some evil slips by and tricks the good orginization... that's fine, but it's not a good organization if it allows it when found. So the white robes are not good.
This is incorrect. The White Robes are as good as they can reasonably be, because they've taken the best option out of the ones that are available to them. The current paradigm does what's best for the greatest number of people, rather than causing mass suffering so they can say that they "tried" to stop evil. "The ends do not justify the means" is a basic tenet of goodness, after all.
that is untrue. if it was true no society on earth could oppose evil when presented, yet WW2 shows otherwise.
If you're going to point to the real world, there are many instances of countries overlooking atrocities and human rights violations by other countries, including contemporary examples. But I suspect you don't want to get into that, lest you get the thread closed.
no... just no. Good does NOT have to let evil be evil. Maybe good can say "we can't stop them" but they can't say "lets help them gain power" or else they should not be called good.
Again, the Conclave is not helping the Black Robes gain power. It's helping to regulate all wizardry, Black Robes and Red Robes and White Robes alike. That by itself is not in contravention with goodness. And in some cases, yes, that means having to let evil be evil, because there's no better option.
When superman says "I can't stop luther" that is okay
When superman says "Since I can't stop luther I will help him build better machines and help lex corp be better at powering up his evil ideas" it isn't okay
Incorrect analogy is incorrect. The situation between the various orders of wizards isn't comparable to that of Superman and Lex Luthor.
If your accepting that amount of evil you are neutral by D*D not good
That's also not right. In fact, I think the entire idea of "good people don't associate with evil people" is strongly suspect. Associating with evil people is how you show them that it's better
not to be evil, as opposed to isolating them with other evil people who reinforce their odious ideas. I'm sure if
feels good to act self-righteous and say "I'm too good for them," but it's not actually good-aligned.
