Trying to get them to go away and stay away somehow would be more good.Helping them achieve their goal is harder ... is it Good if you believe it really will lead to Heaven on Earth? Is it Evil to risk everyone's lives if this outcome is not assured?Presumably the same applies to PC use of any summoning or other extraplanar spells.Personally I think the sincere belief and intention of the person determines good or evil here, but doesn't D&D RAW have absolute alignments based on actions?For divine casters and especially paladins, what is the nature of the 'goodness' they serve? If it is associated with a Good god or maybe even the plane of heaven, opposing the End of the World / closer connection with the plane may affect their access to powers, though I don't think it would actually make them Evil.Very cool setup BTW!</blockquote>
