Note that D&D has very black and white and often times illogical definitions of what is good and what is evil.
Nareau said:Interesting. I thought this was RAW. But I can see why it's not. If a druid summons a Pixie to help slaughter all the children in an orphanage, I hardly think he's committing a good act.

It is when I'm the DM.Fat Daddy said:If a caster casts a spell with the evil descriptor, is that an evil act?
Sabathius42 said:I was helping a fellow player the other day compile his Favored Soul spell choices onto a cheatsheet when I noticed that the spell Wave of Grief was EVIL. It seems kind of strange that a spell that makes you sad is EVIL but a spell that burns you alive (Flamestrike) is cool with everyone.
I would say the actual result of a spell being used is what a GM should judge as good or evil, not the spell itself.
A high-level cleric raiding an orphanage and casting Holy Word (thus killing all the neutral folks in the building) is definatley not a GOOD act.
