[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 3828236, member: 54846"] And that isn't the case here. The ocean is full of water and yet people can live on it, around it, and if the world was an ocean, I'm sure humanity would thrive. If your quota for "Bad for humanity" is "people will die", then nothing is good for humanity, including time. Uh, folklore? Or do you think everything from pixies to Queen Mab drips evil and steps on puppies? I just don't see WotC slapping 'Usually Evil' on most fey. I find it really funny that you keep using the word "evil" in the description OF evil. That doesn't help at [i]all[/i]. And I disagree with a [i]lot[/i] of those descriptions. Lots of things are dangerous and could cross the gate. But a tiger roaming the land is dangerous to humans too, and tigers aren't inherently evil. I don't say the darkness amid the ponits of light is 'Points of Good amid EVIL' but 'Civilization and known versus unknown wild'. Africa in the 1800s-1920s was known as the Dark Continent, and it had a huge question mark on many maps. THIS is what I believe the points of Darkness is. "The unknown, where dangerous things dwell." Asking me what goes from dangerous to evil depends on what context are we talking. The Real World? That would require me to accept that there are forces in the real world which are True Evil or that Evil even exists. In D&D? Evil is anything that you take the big rubber stamp that says EVIL and stamp it on something. In my campaign, Undead aren't EVIL. In yours, they are. [/QUOTE]
