I mean who hasn't slain the orc who surrendered to "keep him from doing evil tomorrow" or justified the theft of a powerful weapon because "it can be used for the greater good in my hands".So, if BoED is just another splatbook for your characters to select prcs and feats from, then yes, you may have a problem. If you actually use the book as intended, and more importantly, hold the players to the standards described in the book as *mandatory* for keeping exalted powers, then you shouldn't have too many issues and the book can really take a game focused on doing Good to a new level.</blockquote>
