Message: <blockquote data-quote="pawsplay" data-source="post: 4939452" data-attributes="member: 15538">So good creatures can generate an evil aura, too?I am not interchanging. Both being evil and how many HD something has are important to the spell as written. You are interpeting into my words something that is not there, the idea that I am measuring how "deeply evil" something is. I am simply pointing out that a low level character can be unquestionably evil in a way the spell supposedly detects (the presence of a detectable metaphysical force caused by evil acts). You, on the other hand, are trying to justify the idea that the detect evil spell fundamentally measures hit dice.I'm going to put forward the idea that killing and eating another human being, except as a singular act performed in a state of mental incapacity or as an act of survival, means your alignment is evil.So really strong auras are not bad? I should not feel threatened by the presence of a strong, evil aura?How is that a mistake? What does strong aura mean apart from containing whatever presence we are calling evil? Imbued with evil simply means it has collected this tangible evil. Maybe I am misunderstanding you, or you are misunderstanding me, but to me "imbued with evil" and "has a strong aura" are both ways of saying that something contains the element Evil.So it does. That makes the lack of auras even more incomprehensible. I can tell if someone with 5 HD just walked through the room, but I can't tell if I'm standing right next to a Jack the Ripper?</blockquote>
