[QUOTE="Rafael Ceurdepyr, post: 1870955, member: 16566"] Well, in a campaign I started running last week, this was an issue, and I had the same question. The party is all divine--a paladin, a cleric and a druid. They were rescuing some women who were trapped in the remains of The Temple of the Mother following an earthquake. The High Priestess didn't want any official help and wanted the search attempt kept quiet--and the party soon found out why. There were three babies that the temple was sheltering, as well as a woman in the midst of giving birth, all of which had been sired by a half-dragon. (In the campaign, there's a rising incidence of hybrid babies being born that are in very delicate health at birth, and the government has ordered that they not be allowed to live, but the high priestess is sheltering them and the mothers.) When the paladin cast Detect Evil (as he is wont to do), I had to decide quickly if the babies were evil or not. Despite their parentage, I decided they weren't evil just because their father was a half-dragon. Although I do wonder how the paladin would've reacted had they been evil. [/QUOTE]
