[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 1478199, member: 552"] Depends on your take. Exalted feats have the requirement that a character be played in an exalted manner. One of the many many many layers of examples they make in the book is that an Exalted character loses the feats for taking an evil action for the greater good. Even though "stabbing the paladin" (evil) is going to eliminate all demons for all of eternity (good, very good), it would cause the character to lose access to exalted feats. Even more directly, the book gives an example of a character sacrificing themselves for a higher good can end up being considered an evil action and result in them nolonger being considered exalted. I'm possibly a bit lax on the latter, but I would understand it if a player running an exalted character would feel that the presence of a powerful undead that took steps to dominate people was an evil in need of destruction. On another subject, I wanted to turn back to VoP and try and persuede my opinion onto everyone. The text I'm referring to I'll quote: What follows are examples of "magic items you recieve the benefit of, used on your behalf." Note the bold. What is the only way that you can drink a cure serious wounds potion that A) a friend gives you, B) is used on your behalf, C) You did not use (activate). I think the only example in the Player's handbook is the example of a character applying a potion to another character as a full-round-action. Also, at the end there are notes such as (Paraphrased) "you may not, however, borrow any magic item from a companion for even a single round, nor may you cast a spell from a scroll, wand, or staff).
