Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rel" data-source="post: 1312415" data-attributes="member: 99">You'll get no argument from me that consorting with fiends is an evil act.  And, in answer to Davek's question, they were fairly certain she was BAD (they were standing in one of Hell's less savory neighborhoods at the time).  But the point I'm hanging on is whether or not that particular evil act is enough to turn you Evil.Let me try a metaphor of my own (I'm not ignoring yours, Joshua but they strike me as too likely to cause the thread to devolve if I'm not extremely careful - I'm going to keep my thoughts on them to myself for the moment.):  Suppose that my PC (for purposes of this debate, say he's Neutral) is contacted by somebody whom I know to be Evil and told that they have a job for me.  I meet with them and they tell me that they'll give me 1,000 GP if I kill someone else whom I know to be Evil.  I agree to do this.Am I Evil yet?  Killing people for money is an evil act.  I've agreed to do this evil act.  If I do it, I'd say I'm Evil.  But between the point where I said I'd do it and the point where I've done the deed, I think I'm still in the shady end of Neutral.That's where I think this character is right now.  It may largely be a moot point however as he has gone to considerable effort to obtain the Dagger and seems to have every intention of using it (albeit on some very nasty individuals who have just recently slaughtered thousands of innocent women and children).  So he's on the fast track to Evil unless he has a major crisis of conscience.</blockquote>
