[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3687786, member: 13966"] The PCs who stood idly by were being either Neutral or Evil. The ones who just joined in the questioning but not the torture were being Neutral or Evil. The ones who were arguing it shouldn't be done were being Good, but only a little, because they would have been actively stopping the torture rather than just arguing against it if they were truly Good. Also, alignment shouldn't be changed from just one event. Unless it's a really drastic event, like destroying an orphanage, or betraying one's evil master to save the world from his maniacal plot, or......um, whatever Lawful or Chaotic acts would be appropriately significant as to change a character's alignment suddenly. Most alignment changes should be the result of a few moderately significant events/actions or numerous minor events/actions. A PC who tortures someone once is close to an alignment change towards Evil (or Neutral if they're Good-aligned beforehand), but it's not likely to take him over the edge unless he's behaved similarly cruelly or vindictively over a longer period of time, or he's done such a thing a second time. It depends. A prolonged event would probably change alignment, but one day or one hour wouldn't likely be enough to do so unless, again, it was something drastic. Probably also depends on if the PC was repentant or remorseful afterwards. Though even repentance wouldn't likely save them from an alignment shift after the second or third infraction. [/QUOTE]
