[QUOTE="KidSnide, post: 5991878, member: 54710"] A good society that wipes out evil -- that's fine. But when they turn to "who's next" then they are no longer good. "Not killing the neighbors for no reason" is a basic tenant of the good alignments. But I agree with you regarding "the balance." Good creatures that want to impose goodness on the world for the betterment of the world and good creatures that want to let neutrals "live and let live" for the betterment of the world, both sound like reasonable interpretations of good. For that matter, I think good creatures can also take the philosophy of "don't seek out evil for destruction, until it shows that it is truly a threat" because they (wisely) doubt their own ability to correctly perceive evil. I don't know about that. I find the differences between Lawful Good, Lawful Neutral and Lawful Evil societies to be quite interesting and the spectrum would lose many of its interesting characteristics without a midpoint at Lawful Neutral. If we're going to have more than Good-Neutral-Evil, then I think you want the full set of 9+1 (with both Unaligned and True Neutral). -KS Edit: >Boggle< Look what a new edition does?
