[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 636698, member: 9254"] I guess it depends on how you deal with the nature of evil. Evil to me is someone whose nature is to not give a crap about other living things in general. (Good = caring, Evil = not caring) Evil may care about individuals but until you become a friend you are likely to be stepped on. But this is merely the being's nature and does not indicate actions. Let's take an extreme example of a half-fiend. The parentage means that the child's base instincts are to be evil. The child may fight that. Depending on how hard he fights it, he may never actually give in to the desire to be a bastard. (double-pun points!) BUT he would still show up on detect evil because it is in his heart. Should it be killed for being evil? Some would say yes because it's heart is evil. Some paladins accept (if dislike) a more gray world. But if that guy does something straight up evil his head goes on the wall. [/QUOTE]
