[QUOTE="dreaded_beast, post: 840454, member: 11185"] i think what we are looking for are actual game mechanics that are covered in the rules. i have only skimmed over star wars d20, but i believe there are rules that cover using dark side powers and becoming corrupted by them. however, in regular dnd, i am unable to find rules that define cast spells with the "evil" descriptor as an evil act. i believe that star wars d20, is based on the star wars mythology, which states that using darkside powers is an evil act. therefore rules were created to handle the use of darkside powers. this is campaign specific and rules were created accordingly. however, in regular generic dnd, all that was given was an "evil" descriptor to determine what type of spell it was. i believe if that such a spell was considered to be an "evil" act, it would have been stated explicitly like it is in star wars d20 when darkside powers are used (if i remember correctly) i believe that determining if casting a spell with the "evil" descriptor is an "evil act" is actually campaign specific (dependant on what type of game the dm plays, his house rules, etc.) and that there are no actual rules that state that casting such a spell is an "evil act". if there is such a rule in the core books, could someone point it out to me. on my own, i have not found such a rule.
