[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 1898707, member: 307"] Only for those who have not actually looked up the definition of "good" and "evil" as those terms are used in the core rules. Except that we aren't talking about the morality of realistic Zeus worshippers and YHWH cultists, most of whom would not be classified as "good" using the D&D alignment system. We are talking about the D&D versions of morality as they apply to the alignments "good" and "evil". So, for example, we have this quote (from the SRD): [i][/i] Exactly what is altruistic about summoning creatures to kill them? What part of summoning creatures to kill them displays a "respect for life"? What part indicates a "concern for the dignity of sentient beings" (which most summoned creatures qualify as). How is summoning something so you can kill it for your personal convenience a "personal sacrifice"? Yes, insofar as most creatures summoned by typ[ical D&D PCs are celestial in nature, making the intentional killing of them (even if it is a temporary condition) an inherently evil act. Or they are fiendish, which makes summoning them in the first place an inherently evil act. You aren't helping your case here. Yeah, I did. I think you need to brush up a bit there. [/QUOTE]
