Message: <blockquote data-quote="Atridis" data-source="post: 1123337" data-attributes="member: 13919">There's one thing that stands out to me: He speaks of someday ruling a kingdom that includes undead as taxable residents (i.e. citizens). Depending on the nature of undead in his campaign-world, this alone suggests to me that he is... Lawful Evil. This wouldn't conflict with his other behavior, I don't think: - The fact that he will kill "if it's easier" shows that he has no inherent regard for life. - That all his adversaries have been Evil is not necessarily indicative of Good. After all, Evil people fight one another as often as they fight Good people. Good people are more likely to bend over backwards to avoid violence by cooperating and negotiating (something that Evil people routinely exploit). - There's nothing to suggest that the alignment or race of his enemy was a concern, one way or the other. - He has some loyalty to other people, but this suggests Lawful to me, not Good. Everyone needs allies, after all. - "The end justifies the means" is illuminating. His desire to avoid violence could simply be acknowledging the fact that he isn't invulnerable, and that violence often creates complications and eliminates opportunities. Unless it's an unusual campaign world, I don't see how anyone who's Good or Neutral could plan to rule a kingdom that includes undead.</blockquote>
