[QUOTE="Morlock, post: 6616891, member: 6776981"] More of my personal, idiosyncratic view of alignment: True, but not particularly useful, IMO. I think good people are almost incapable of killing innocents. And I find it easy to imagine evil people having compunctions after killing innocents. I'd see neutral people as having strong to moderate compunctions after killing innocents. A stereotypically good person would probably rather die than kill an innocent. You'd have to break him down with extended torture first. A neutral person would take some very strong persuading, but he'd do it eventually, if you made it clear one of them was going to die. A weakly evil person would want to make sure he had no other options before killing an innocent, just because murder's a good way to get yourself in big trouble, but that out of the way he'd do it and feel little remorse, because hey, he was forced into it. A strongly evil person would try to negotiate a fee for killing an innocent. A diabolically evil person would be planning to kill the innocent and take his stuff before anyone demanded it. :) IMO YMMV caveat emptor, etc. Side note: anyone else ever made the connection between arrogance/honor and morality? Personally, I see it in myself. I see a lot of immoral behavior as low and beneath me. It angers me when I see others do dirt, and lowers my respect for them. [/QUOTE]
