Other homebrew universes exist, surely. I run one myself. Still other campaign settings exist that change the nuances of the core universe.  The OP did not suggest or mention he was using them. We can only assume he is using the core universe. "Usually" CE means just that. It will be at least uncommon, more probably rare to find a troll that does not wish to emulate their God, The Destroyer.  This means that all trolls are born or raised to be CE. Some go against that, yes, I am not arguing that. However, they all have the taint of CE in them. That makes it the duty of all LG paragons to smite them, as it is diametrically opposed to them. Just as it is the duty of all Demons to fight Devils and vice-versa, just as it is the duty of Dwarves to struggle against Orc and Giants.  If you are Good, no G-N-E alignment shift is necessary for destroying Evil if your action serves the greater Good. Torching an LG city to kill one or two Evil commoners does not serve the greater Good. Torturing one Good soldier to root out and stop an Evil organisation that threatens to destroy that Good city DOES serve the greater Good.</blockquote>
