[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 4940507, member: 957"] Sorry, I truly thought that was clear. I did not realize I failed to answer the question. Most 100% certainly YES. The creature must be evil, beyond that the aura Strength is a measure of power. Undead, clerics, paladins and outsiders use a difference SCALE, but again, it remains nothing but a measure of power. Under 3E rules a 5th level evil cleric of the god of pickpockets has a stronger aura than the 3rd level cleric of the god of baby eating. In my game there would be no question that the latter was vastly "more evil". But the game mechanics include no assessment of "more evil". So the less evil pickpocket cleric would have a stronger aura than the greatly more evil baby eater cleric. The spell only says evil[yes/no] and roughly how powerful the evil target is. I like this system. It makes sense to me. It did in 3X, and it still does in PF. Yes. Now it is my turn. I have asked you multiple time to show me where 3E states that aura strength is a measure of how evil something is". To use your phrase it "should be a really simple question". I see the phrase "most potent" (I was right upthread when I said "potential energy of evil"), but nothing about "most vile" or such. [/QUOTE]
