evil ?
Okay I read Docs story so I am familiar with the circumastances of the crime as they were posted.
You had a high level PC that was embittered towards anothe rPC because of past actions the PC made while under a spell (charmed). The PC is a little chaotic (not evil just funny like that), SO the PC in question decides that he must be evil and hires an assasin to kill the PC.
1) As a high level PC the character could have easily established alignment and determined that the PC was not evil (I believe the PC was actually good).
2) Highering and paying an evil aligned character is evil... You just don't know what the assasin will use the money for later. Buy 200 pounds of wyern poison and kill a village of Nuns and children ? maybe... point is you just don't know.
3) supporting evil either financially or by your actions is evil. If I paid Osama Bin Laden to blow up Sadam Hussien and then he turned around and used the money to buy a nuke and blew up kansas I would be responsible for financing him.
4) I realize points 3 and 4 were the same but <shrugs>
5) One action may not make you evil but another poster hit it on the head. It is far easier to fall then it is to redeem oneself.
Well thats my reasoning, Dartan may not be evil but he sure as heck is sliding down that slippery slope. I would expect to see Dartan reappear as a NE Badguy that has a vendetta to settle with Jamison later down the road.
