Fighter, with feats you wouldn't usually take in a home-run campaign.

*shrug* It's all in how you build it.

Possibly. But then this would imply that consequences plays a large role in the morality, whereas up until now it really hasn't been considered. I'd rather wait and hear it from the horse's mouth, as they say. Salthorae doesn't run games because he's a pusilanimous bow-legged cowardly scab of a...

Fighter/Rogue? Barbarian/Rogue? Both of those combinations will give you skills and decent melee ability. And while you're at it, why couldn't a straight fighter get along just fine in an assassins guild? All he needs to do is be willing to kill people for money, right?

Quite right. It was Tarkin's idea to hold Alderaan hostage to pry information out of Leia. Vader had to just stand around and be impressed by British Imperial villany. ;)

Of course, but your post 131 highlighted the Evils without citing any potential benefit. Wouldn't want to be one-sided here, eh? Violent acts can be Evil. Violent acts can be not-Evil. Why then must the use of violence (or force, apparently) in any particular act be Evil? Is there a reason...

I wouldn't allow construction of the Dwarven Thrower. I'd maybe have it available for me to give out as treasure, but I'd handwave a reason for the item to not be crafted. DM Fiat I suppose. They could, however, make a +2 Throwing Returning Giant-Bane Hammer of Distance. I'd even throw in the...

Free speech is a Good thing. Physically gagging someone removes their free speech. So what is gagging someone who is about to yell, "FIRE!" in a crowd with the intent to cause a stampede and create a situation where people could easily die? Simply because something can be Evil when abused...

Strawman. Never have I claimed that force was a categorically neutral act. You claimed the use of force was a categorically Evil act. I have used physical force to stop you from doing something you were intent upon doing. If you agree that me putting my arm out to stop you is in no way Evil...

This spell would suck if your name was "Gary", or "Frank". The damn spell would never stop auto-scrying the local bowling alley where everyone was congratulating "Ed" on his good game. :D

Not at all; I'm engaging you as much as the other way around. And I prefer the term, "evolved". :) And oddly, I seem to have started two alignment threads, one Good-Evil, one Law-Chaos. No wonder I was so unproductive today. ;)

My interjected arm has stopped you from doing what you had wanted to do. You asserted that forcing someone to do something was Evil. If it is categorically Evil then "hardly a violent action upon [your] person" is irrelevant. Unless you allow that some degrees of force are not Evil. In which...

Ok. Broken will. No alignment effect. Quite right. ...Felix... "Obi-wan once thought as you do. You don't know the *power* of the Dark Side, I *must* obey my master." Betrayal is not an inherently Chaotic act, nor is Loyalty an inherently Lawful one. Lawful beings can betray; in D&D this is...

Is the morality of an action inherent, or does the perception of the action grant it morality? Not an escalation. Clarification: We stand next to one another. A seat opens. You begin to walk towards that seat, but I bar your path with my forearm, and then point to the old lady. I arrest your...

You admitted that you judge the morality of the action based on the context. Why then must force be Evil? "Because"? Is it Evil to slap him on the back in congratulations? Is it Evil to restrain someone from sitting down in the last available seat on the subway when an elderly lady is making...

You insist upon viewing the context of a categorically Evil act to determine the morality. You seem not to allow the inspection of the context of a neutral act to determine morality. Yes, force could be regarded as a solution to a problem; the choice to not do so would depend upon the context...

This is actually an interesting idea. Is there an argument that one of the fundamental differences between Law and Chaos is the reliance on either emotion or logic? Certainly that is what's played out in the original Star Trek, with Mr. Spok's logical Lawful mind contrasting sharply to Dr...

Premise 1--\ Premise 2---> Conclusion Premise 3--/ There's no point in debating the conclusion of your argument, or that there needs be a comprimise, if one of your premises is in question. "Firstly, the use of violence against another is evil." You used this earlier as your premise. And...

Oh, oh I'm sorry. This is abuse. You want thread 12A, just along the corridor. ...stupid git... :D

Or I cut and paste according to which parts of your posts I was responding to in mine, and which parts of my posts you quoted. I suppose it depends on the level of mustache twirling you'd like me to have. And my name is Felix. And not at all a reference to Lawful Evil and Chaotic Evil...
