[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3250731, member: 2067"] Eh...that's not even that evil. Or that Lawful. It's not something a Good character would really do, but it's not delighting in the torture for pure torture's sake, so it's more Neutral...e.g.: what most people are. Most people would probably torture someone else if it meant saving some of their own (see events like the Inquisition, or the recent debates over United States torture practices), it's not entirely without merit. Of course, some sort of wicked sadist (an Evil character) would want to torture for the power it gave them. Even if the victim had no information, they may torture, just to delight in torture. They'd research the topic, develop methods for extending the life, new and "markless" ways to induce suffering, simply revel in the moment that a being betrays what it loves and trusts for the man with the winch at the rack, just out of selfishness and desperation. They would delight in making their lessers suffer -- information might just be an excuse. The Evil character probably wouldn't just torture for information....he'd torture until the target was unconcious, then heal his wounds and torture him again. If the victim had no more information, the Evil being may insist that they do, anyway: "YOU DO KNOW THE LOCATION OF THE MCGUFFIN! CONFESS!" Lawful creatures would only torture when that is their appointed duty...the lawful evil types would seek out ways to be appointed torturers or information gatherers within the military structure so they could enjoy their jobs. Nah, the situation above that you describe is something any Neutral character is capable of. You don't have to be Evil to do Evil (or Good to do Good) after all, unless you make a habit of it. :) [/QUOTE]
