[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 48083, member: 2804"] The problem with these debates is that you have to first determine some basic alignment guidelines for your specific game and campaign. In some people's games an NPC could register as evil just because he is a jerk. These are the kind of people who get all hot and bothered when people like SHARK come on and advocate the execution of evil wherever it is found. But in SHARK's games and my own the definition of evil is quite different. Being evil means an individual thoroughly relishes inflicting cruel pain and death upon innocents. That is why good characters in our world don't hesitate to dispense death in judgement of evil beings. Because if they are evil then they are EVIL and they have more than earned death as a punishment. But if in your game a character merits as evil simply because he is mean to puppies then a death sentence for showing up as "evil" on a detect alignment spell is way out of line. So it all depends on your interpretation of alignment. Otherwise debate is pointless. [/QUOTE]
