[QUOTE="Tom Cashel, post: 48307, member: 321"] [b]Not necessarily...[/b] The problem with these debates is that someone (usually several people) feel the need to claim that they are useless. :) Assume that I'm using the guidelines set forth in the 3E [i]Player's Handbook[/i]. They're a lot less sketchy than they used to be. The crux of THIS debate is: what should a group of mostly chaotic and neutral (but good) characters do with a captured rival adventuring group (mostly lawful to neutral) that has two neutral evil members. It's not a debate about whether one should use the [i]detect[/i] spells or whether one should abolish alignment. We're just wondering about some different ways we might have handled the situation...many have been suggested. I still think the "heal one fully and fight them to the death" answer is the best. Hey, no offense, Dragonblade--I just think that if we keep it down to earth instead of rising to those lofty heights of speculation about what alignment "means," this debate might actually retain some clarity and usefulness.
