Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sejs" data-source="post: 3201054" data-attributes="member: 4910">Well to be fair, those same divinations are -really- not a good yardstick.Check it out ~  Aura Strength (Faint):* Undead: up to 2 HD (regardless of creature's actual alignment, you'll note).* Evil Outsider: up to 1 HD.* Cleric of an evil deity, or Blackguard: up to 1 HD.* Evil Spell or Magic Item: up to caster level 2.* Evil Creature: up to 10 HD.Aura Strength (Moderate): * Undead: 3-8 HD.* Evil Outsider: 2-4 HD.* Cleric of an evil deity, or Blackguard: 2-4 HD.* Evil Spell or Magic Item: caster level 3-8.* Evil Creature: 11-25 HD.Etc, etc.The blackest-hearted assassin, foulest, most murderous tainted soul on earth pings as evil as the lowest Altar Boy of Vecna, unless he's got more than 10 levels under his belt.  And then, he'll ping somewhere on the same level as an accolyte or a lemure all the way up to his forays into epic levels.And, moreso, Blacksoul the Scourge of Innocence shows at the same level of evil as, say.. Bill the Greedy Moneylender (Scourge of Exchange Rates).Plenty of room to work with.However, if that's not your bag, you can always do what I used to: Detect X Alignment spells only work on supernatural examples of said alignment.  So you can tell if Johnny the Homicidal Maniac is possessed by a demon, or if that dretch isn't just some kind of really fat midget with a funny hat on, but you can't tell if Brother Suldim is a corrupt priest or if that man in the corner is thinking mean thoughts about kicking puppies.</blockquote>
