[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 871254, member: 6239"] RigaMortus, I see now what your problem with the situation is: you are an absolutist. You believe that every action with any moral implication is good or evil. That is not the case. Please learn this. A "punisher" character may not be good, but that doesn't make them evil. You keep mentioning "alternatives". That would be the Good thing to do. Killing the innocent is an evil thing to do. Killing the evil doers any way you can is neutral at worst. I think your "Heroic" campaign has skewed your vision. Killing outside of combat is never heroic. That doesn't make it evil. To punish a criminal is not evil. I will not call it heroic. That is not what an alignment of non-evil means though. To AVOID being EVIL, I only need to be clear that I am not acting in self interest. Killing a downed foe as punishment for crimes satisfies that critia. To punish a criminal is not evil. You have been playing paladin's too much. [/QUOTE]
