Message: <blockquote data-quote="gamerprinter" data-source="post: 5981460" data-attributes="member: 50895">You don't understand, it's not an issue of a character's personal choice nor his past history. A monk is lawful because to access the ki powers in himself, and to master the martial arts requires the philosophical choice of law, otherwise ki power cannot be manifested. His powers do now work if he is not lawful. Can a paladin be a paladin and not lawful good?  Even if somebody helps people when not on assassination work, because the way assassination is accomplished and the obvious result, it's an evil act. Is it possible for an Assassin to always be good when not assassinating, thus the balace equals neutral? I think even that is reaching.  Ever heard of war crimes? Assassination during war is a crime, because it's an evil act. Has the US performed assassinations in war - most certainly, but even then it was most likely a CIA backed operation. It was condoned by senior level. Despite that, it is still a crime, an illegal activity, one that the government would face the wrath of the public and the world if it gets caught. Even though it is a crime, it is done in war - that doesn't change the fact that it's still wrong (and evil). There were attempts to assassinate Hitler during WW2. Most people would agree that killing Hitler to end the war would have been a good thing. Still the act of taking him out, not in a battle situation is assassination, and if the perpetrators get caught they will be considered criminals, war or no war.  Agreeing to disagree regards opinions. Assassination being evil is a fact, no matter your opinion - so in this instance, you are wrong.</blockquote>
