Twice in the game, the thief was described by jasamcarl as "a boy" and twice as "a youth" NOT as "a young man", so in the game that point of your argument falls apart. As for being too cut and dry, the alignment system is a guideline - a cut and dry one. There is Good. There is Evil. There is Law. There is Chaos. There is Neutrality. Pretty cut and dry, if you ask me. RL isn't like that by any means, but D&D certainly is. If it still is too cut and dry for you, I would suggest changing Jericho to a Chaotic Neutral character.If you want to bring culture into the alignment debate, then any Evil act can be justified. Hitler felt the Jews were Evil and, in his eyes, ridding the Earth of that Evil was justified. He certainly felt no remorse about his actions. He believed himself to be a Christian (the swastika, his main symbol, was a cross) and that he was doing the work of God. In his culture, those who followed him believed this as well. Using your argument, how would you classify his alignment in D&D terms? If you want to join a similar debate about Torquemada, have a look at this thread:<a href="http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?threadid=30158" target="_blank">http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?threadid=30158</a> I think you're the one with the weak argument.
