[QUOTE="radmod, post: 5280662, member: 93008"] I'm sure he would agree that they work since, AFAIK, they are not dependent on an aura. See, this is where I think you could 'gotcha' him (if he didn't have his usual Globe of Invulnerability vs. Common Sense on). AFAIK, there is nowhere that it says an 'evil' descriptor means you have an aura of evil. For the undead part, he would probably say the act of creating undead, like Animate Undead's evil descriptor, is essentially a Permanent version of a necromantic evil spell and therefore has an aura of evil. Yes, that's the core of it. I imagine 'evil' to him is something you do, the actions you take, not the Good vs. Evil argument made (appropriately, IMO) above. As to arguing it, I don't. If I'm DM, I do it my way. If he's DM, he can do it his way. As it turned out, our current DM does it differently so it doesn't really matter what either of us think. EDIT: Actually, I'm going to have to correct myself. Now that I think about it he is the type who would say there is Evil and there is evil. Evil are the clerics, undead, 'evil' outsiders, etc. and evil is everyone else. [/QUOTE]
