[QUOTE="WD40, post: 3626851, member: 37922"] I'm planning on running "The Quicksilver Hourglass" (Dungeon 123) as a one-off epic game... I'm pregenerating the characters for it. I've got some cool ideas... My habit of playing with weird characters kicked in, and a character I'd like to have in is a Good-Aligned Mummy Truenamer. Because, of all undead (Not counting Deathless) Mummies are most likly to be good-aligned, and I personally think that Truenamers fit in quite well with Egyptian type mysticism... If only in flavor rather than accuracy. However, this may cause problems with the party's leader: Mr. Wonderful McShiney Epic Paladin of ultimate Goddie-two-shoeiness. Creating undead is an evil act, can't dispute that. But if the undead itself is not evil, is allowing it's continued existence an evil act? Come to think of it, with the introduction of deathless, (Either Ebberron or BoED) is the creation of a Good-Aligned undead an evil act? Do you think my Mr. Wonderful McShiney can adventure alongside my Mummy Truenamer? Do paladins have to Smite Evil at every opportunity, or is it feasible for them to work with Evil characters, providing they don't to anything nasty? I'm thinking of Spiderman having to team up with Venom in order for both of them to over come a greater evil: Carnage... What do you think? [/QUOTE]
