[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 3327118, member: 36349"] [b]Regarding this and that[/b] Just a thought but has anyone ever come across a situation where the area having been used as a home for a seriously evil tribe that has been recently wiped out but leaves a single surivivor who is described as having been abused. When a certain paladin uses their detect evil and is told by the dm they're evil and they subsequently chase them down and kill them from behind whilst they're essentially defenceless ignoring the pleas of the rest of the mostly Good aligned party members even though said area should have made the paladin's pursuit of the (goblin) survivor pretty much impossible since that aura should have been blotted out by the remaining taint in the cavern. Would THIS constitute an evil act? And as for those baby trolls is it possible it isn't the babies tht was detected was it rather the area they were living in? Yes I know unlikely but I wondered if this has actually turned up since detect evil is far from the sure fire spell everybody seems to think it is and a Paldin having to concentrate on it makes what i desrcibed above even more unlikely (but it did happen in case you wondering).
