This leads to the idea that a neutral will only sacrifice his own time/money/whatever for his family and friends. Being willing to sacrifice his life for them probably pushes him into good.And someone evil is someone who doesn't want to sacrifice anything of themselves for anybody at all.Given this there's a lot of Not-Paragon of Virtues who don't ping as evil. But those that do aren't necessarily deserving of doom and destruction thereby. Its still useful information, if you suspect that the henchman the party rogue picked up is a spy for the Dark Lord Darky McEvil, a detect evil is fairly likely to let you know whether or not thats probably the case to investigate most closely. It can also be used in battle with hostiles to check if they are evil to see if your smite will do extra painful good damage to them. Really I think Detect Evil has plenty of use without it being a Kill On Sight Radar.</blockquote>
