[QUOTE="TanisFrey, post: 5477290, member: 26948"] Aragorn would have nursed the Orc back to health if Gimly or Legos did not out right kill it. Gimly and Legos would have [U]at least[/U] not interfered with Aragorn nursing of the Orc. Aragon would have then tried to use that orc to negotiate peace with the other orc, knowing that it would most likely just delay any attack by the orcs on Gondor. Aragon perfected peace but saw the warfare as being necessary at times. Interesting Side note: In the 1ed DragonLance campaign book they had a chart with good on one end and evil on the other. It had 10 divisions within each 3 alignments and 10 divisions between each one that were shaded gray. A bold line was within the gray region that separated good from neutral and neutral from evil. When a new PC was started you placed their name in the middle of their choose alignment. When the committed they a good or evil act the DM moved their place on the number line. When they entered a gray region the god sent a warring to reform their ways. The warring took the form of a -5 to hit and saves. If the character did not reform their ways and passed the bold line they jumped into the middle of the next alignment and were stuck there for a game section, then lost the -5 penalty. It was a formalized way for a DM to decide when a PC changed an alignment. They should have applied this to the Lawful-Neutral-Chaos axis also. Also I always thought that they should create a second set of alignments to handle animals, true neutral just does not cover them properly. One axis would be Predator-Omnivore-Herbivore and the other axis would be Aggressive-Passive-Shy. Yes, one can find examples of all 9 animal alignments in the our world. Examples: Aggressive Herbivore - Wild Elephants and Rhinos Passive Herbivore - Most heard animals Shy Herbivore - deer Aggressive Omnivore - Bears Passive Omnivore - Wild Goats Shy Omnivore - Raccoons Aggressive Predator - Tiggers Passive Predator - Lions Shy Predator - Just how many predator attack through ambush? Lots. Wolfs for one. [/QUOTE]
