[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 2915726, member: 7635"] True. and the Sorcerers is implied that it can be a latent talent brought out with training, so hence the multi-classing allowance. The rest of your post ties back into the idea of "absolute alignment" and "Gods are real". Lots of things in the D&D world are proven by other things. However, lets take a step back: does every priest or paladin scan every townsfolk, traveller, and prespective neighbor? Would neighborhoods account for this? Could you run a man out of town because the church priest deemed him "evil" (happened alot in history, why not in fantasy?) Would alignment become another "divider" like race, sex or religion? Could there be signs that read "Employee wanted: no evil people need apply" or is it evil itself to discriminate against evil people. It makes the head hurt if you think too hard. However, if you prefer to gloss over it and assume humanity wouldn't radically change by the knowledge that people can be detected as good or evil, then alignment plays less of a role. It all depends on how you would put your emphasis. [/QUOTE]
