[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 1550552, member: 15651"] I don't have the entire SRD here. Does another part describe alignment differently for non-characters? I agree that neutrals can endanger innocents as well, but I still don't see anything saying they must be destroyed... I view the idea of threatening innocents differently than you do, I guess. I see "threatening innocents" as active, not a potential. I never said that, I do not think I mentioned redeeming anywhere in my post, but anyway... Hmm, you seem to have a different definition of punishment as well. pun·ish ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pnsh) v. pun·ished, pun·ish·ing, pun·ish·es v. tr. 1. To subject to a penalty for an offense, sin, or fault. 2. To inflict a penalty for (an offense). 3. To handle roughly; hurt: My boots were punished by our long trek through the desert. I go by the first or second definition, I guess you use the third. I hope you don't work in the justice system... Where does it say "protect the innocent"? I see "Help those in need," and "punish those who harm or threaten the innocent." Now, your individual game may have a paladin code that says "protect the innoncent", but it isn't in the SRD. Nope I do not buy the one-third villagers are evil, I view the majority of people as neutral - they just don't really want to be bothered. And I do not think I was blaming the rules for anything. I'm just trying to look at one way of interpreting the rules. People can play it however they feel in their own game, they can interpret or change the rules however they want and who is to say if they are right or wrong. [/QUOTE]
