Message: <blockquote data-quote="kleinetommy" data-source="post: 1537045" data-attributes="member: 19297">We've been focusing alot on why the stealing would be evil or not. I think in order to reason wether killing would be more or less evil than stealing a firm basis on why killing the merchant would be or not be evil is needed.Dreaded beast, in his original post, made it seem like killing the merchant in said situation would not be evil in the slightest. Why?I think we can all agree (but if not please say so!) that if said thief actually killed the merchant he would at best be Neutral (and most probably non-lawfull). How does this differ from bashing in the door with your fellow party members and then killing him (and probably every fighting servant along the way)?Now we contrast this with the other situation mentioned (the evil temple). If you break into an evil temple on the sole reason of greed, and a virgin is being sacrificed while you lurk in the shadows pilfering valuable relics, then in that case stealing would be worse than killing, since (as a good character) you should have at least tried to save the poor virgin (evil by inaction).All in all I tend to agree with Dreaded Beast that killing is worse than stealing.</blockquote>
