[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7980887, member: 23751"] That's a silly test. We all change. Someone who isn't changing as a person is dead. We are looking at whether or not the one act causes him to be evil, rather than be a good person who did one evil act. We already know that it's morally blameworthy. Hence EVIL ACT. I put forth that one evil act under those circumstances does not make one evil, proving that you can be one alignment and still act in ways outside of that alignment without causing a change. People are not going to view him as evil or even neutral. They are going to view him as a good man who did something bad. That change does not equate to an alignment shift, though. It's a black mark, but that doesn't automatically move you from good into evil or even neutral. The man will still be the same good hearted person he always way, even after the murder. [/QUOTE]
