And there is nothing in the alignment scale which prevents people from proclaiming their actions are good whilst performing evil. So while a society may claim to be good, the absolute of views of the "cosmos" may regard them as somewhat...wanting.This is where you must judge (as DM) what tips the scales in one direction or the other. You can judge that human sacrifice is a necessary, justifiable "evil" of minor consequence, or deem that such horrific practices are inexcusable, and that such a society must surely be evil regardless of whatever else the rulers of such a place attempt to do to mislead the populance to the true purpose of theiractions. Just because the sacrifices are widely accepted, does not mean that they are universally accepted within the society, either.The importance of correct alignement interpretation doesn't lie in how the game is played by everyone, but rather how it is interpreted in your game, and how well this is understood by your players, so that they can get the most enjoyment out of the game, and avoid unnecessary/unwanted debates.</blockquote>
