[QUOTE="Nail, post: 92419, member: 224"] <Doffs players hat for a moment or two...> Actually, I believe the question relevent to the campaign is whether or not PC (the DM) thinks undead are always inherently evil..... :^) If we assume that Ghouleax has been thoroughly tested by high level clerics, and that those tests did show Sir Ghouleax to be not evil, then we can assume PC thinks undead need not be evil. This is something the players could answer best. Have you (the players) ever met an undead in PC-land that's not evil? Someone (not a player in PC-land) mentioned a [i]good[/i] type of undead somewher, in some expansion set or another. KidCthulhu, did you not describe PC as an "idea sponge"? From a strictly core rules standpoint, undead are evil, if sentient. there are no exceptions. It does not say they have to be.....but one could argue that products of an evil descriptor spell must also be evil (or at least not good). Something about tortured souls being unnaturally trapped in decaying bodies.....go figure. -Nail [/QUOTE]
