[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 3186800, member: 1656"] I'm reading "Number of evil auras (creatures, objects, or spells)"; it's referring to creatures, objects, and spells that have evil auras, not stating that creatures with evil auras are evil. To determine the aura power, we see the accompanying table, which includes entries for evil creatures and evil magic items/spells, but also for things which may not be evil - clerics of evil deities, and undead. A Lawful Neutral cleric of a Lawful Evil deity is not an evil creature, yet he is detected by Detect Evil. A Neutral Good spectre is not an evil creature, yet he is detected by Detect Evil. Despite having an evil aura that can be detected, neither creature is evil. A Paladin who is the subject of a Misdirection spell fixed on an Unholy sword will be detected by Detect Evil. He is not an evil creature. The presence of an evil aura does not always indicate the presence of evil. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
