I care about having an alignment system that doesn't claim genocide is not an evil act.They "imposed retribution" via genocide. Unless you think that mountain just spanked everyone and sent them to bed without supper?It does not matter if the gods are claiming it as retribution. They dropped a mountain on a country and it not only killed everyone in that country, it seriously and irreparably harmed people across the world. And no amount of pride--which is a thoughtcrime--is worth genocide. Because you're saying that the gods did all this because the kingpriest was prideful. Not because he committed murder. Not because he was bigoted. Not for any other reason. But because he demanded that the gods let him destroy evil. From the DL wiki:Words cannot describe how horrified I am at those gods.And this "good and evil need to be in perfect balance" is a stupid trope that needs to die in a fiery mountain.If I were to run an AD&D game and the paladin tried to kill someone for being prideful, that paladin would fall so fast as to burn up in the atmosphere.</blockquote>
