You fight the Big Bad and kill it's guards, who are just there to do a job, is that evil? You kill bandits or cultists or slavers instead of capturing them and handing them off to the sheriff, is that evil?And if that isn't evil, then why is is it evil to eat the corpse you (or someone else) made?And again, how do you determine if a creature is sapient? Ogres are Int 5, but have a language. Ettercaps and displacer beasts are smarter (Int 7 and Int 6, respectively) but can neither speak nor understand any languages. Assassin bugs are Int 4 but can understand (but not speak) Druidic; campestri are Int 4 but can understand (and mimic, but not speak) Common; chimeras are Int 3 but can understand (but not speak) Draconic. Are these creatures sapient? Is it evil to kill one instead of capturing it?The real answer is, cannibalism is also situational. It's not a blanket evil.</blockquote>
