You want the room 3 doors down on the left. This is a Fantasy Setting. With enough cash you can buy a knighthood, and dispense High, Low and Medium? Justice pretty much at whim.Hey who put the Real World in my Peanut Butter?! Who put Peanut Butter in my Real World?! or something like that.....  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The same right you have to puch the other guy after he punches you.  It's all a matter of scale.  If you Puch me I Punch back. If you Stab me, then you just lost your Breathing Rights. If you stab someone else and I take offense to it, you may also have lost your Breathing Rights. If you Cheat on your Taxes, and I dont like you, I may rat you out, then again, its kinda petty so who cares. If I see you kick a dog, I prolly won't even cross the street to talk to you. It's kind of a Sliding Scale.Seems like you are putting the Cart in front of the Horse.  When the "Bad Guy" doesn't do anything to you, then he wasn't labled the bad guy in the first place. You didn't even know about him!  Of course there's always the story of the Evil Person living in that old abandoned Mine Shaft the farmers may tell you about.  Maybey you aught to stop by and say "Hi". See if he needs anything offer to help. If nothings going on, stay near town for a few days just to make shure. You are also forgetting a few things.  We're talking about Buffing, Scrying and Teleport.  If you have these spells you also have Detect Evil, Augury, Commune, Discen Lies, and Divination.  You can tell the "Bad Guys" who're in need of the time and effort that justifies a visit from the Death Fairy, from the "Not So Bad Guys" who just need a little encouragement or help. (Reading, taking note of the backhanded insult about depth, no sweat, he doesn't mean me)(2nd time he's asked the same question, wasted a whole paragraph doing so, notes Dissenter thinks that slaying evil is a profession with specific rules to follow, also notes that he has forgotten there are 8 other alignments than LG)(talking down to me again, backhanded insult about not understanding honor, noting Dissenters erroneous assumption that everyone plays the same LG character who would do those silly things)(realizing Dissenter forgets Dectect Law/Chaos/Good/Evil are 1st level spells, again he forgets about the other 8 alignments, another poorly aimed insult this time of what type of DnD I'm playing) Wow! What a Immensely Huge Straw Man. That must have taken you hours to construct. You seem to think that every one is playing using the same Campaign Setting you are using. One where every major Govt is  Lawful Good Anal. You are leaving out a startling number of valid settings.  The Crusades, The Wild West, The New World, The Undiscovered Country, The Explorers of the Ancient Ruins, the list goes on and on.  Gee thanks But I'm already playing payrolls and Paychecks It's kinda boring. Things are looking up though, in a few Weeks I'm going to use my +30 Voting skill. Wish me Luck.If you get tired of playing you might want to try AD&D. I wish you Luck.Metalsmith</blockquote>
