[QUOTE="Berk, post: 697278, member: 5992"] I am not saying anything noble about torture here but a neutral good character shouldn't have any qualms about it if it was for the greater good. Neutral Good is one of those alignments where the strictures of law and chaos just don't apply, it's whatever suites your fancy to get done what needs to be done for the greater good. It might not be noble to do certain things, but then again, is it noble to let thousands of people to die because of commiting an act that is viewed by 1/8 of the populace not noble or honorable or even correct. These are other words for noble. Honorable; worthy; dignified; elevated; exalted; superior; sublime; great; eminent; illustrious; renowned; stately; splendid; magnificent; grand; magnanimous; generous; liberal; free. Now you might say that torture itself is not a noble act, but then again in the ways of DND noble is what the alignment makes it to be.
