[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 7974897, member: 6788736"] Yes. Every peasant that saw the world as dog eat dog, and approved of or engaged in rape, murder and slavery, yes. They were evil. Ditto every Nazi that approved of or engaged in the Holocaust. Also evil. Mate, 5E is written for us to apply modern objective definitions of words in the text. Unless you can prove otherwise, when I see a word in a 5E PHB released a few years ago, and written by modern authors, living in the modern world, I presume that when they printed the word 'evil' and 'good' the intent was for those words to mean what [B]we [/B]know them to mean, not what Adolf Hitler, a Drow priestess or 1st century AD murdering rapist Roman legionnaire would have though they meant. I dont really want to engage in this conversation any more. You're literally condoning brutal torture and murder and slavery and rape as being morally good,[I] simply if there is a broad social consensus it is acceptable[/I]. You're entitled to that opinion of course, but I not only find that view repugnant, I also wholeheartedly disagree. We're talking different languages and in different worlds im afraid for a meaningful discussion at this point. [/QUOTE]
