[QUOTE="robberbaron, post: 1630234, member: 14771"] I reckon that Paladins would sense "supernatural evil", e.g., anything with the Evil descriptor, but wouldn't really know if someone had bad thoughts (or liked porn?!). Why should a Paladin care if a merchant is giving short weights when he can smell a Demon in the next county? He could probably tell if there was a murderer in the room, though not who it was. IMC evil is as evil does. You are evil if you don't particularly care what effect your actions have on others, good if you do. You are Lawful if you follow the laws and Chaotic if you don't think they apply to you. Therefore, most people vacillate between Lawful and Chaotic (pay taxes but drive too fast) and between Good and Evil (don't like hurting children or puppies but don't worry if the sewage farm you didn't want on your doorstep pollutes someone else'e river instead). It's all a big grey area and everyone has there own ideas about it. Edit: Oh, and I don't believe anyone could be True Neutral. It would need such detachment from real life as to make it impossible to play successfully (or enjoyably). [/QUOTE]
