[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 1057817, member: 707"] And evil things are evil, regardless of whether you believe they aren't. From the PH pg 88The kobolds hurt and kill the townsfolk. They have no compassion for others and kill without qualms when convenient, and they actively pursue these goals. In short: the kobolds are evil. Now let us examine the PCs. Though the rogue killed the kobolds, he did not hurt them (the death was painless), and he had plenty of qualms about it. He also killed out of compassion, so there was no lack of that as well. In short: not evil.Note that the townsfolk haven't been out raiding and killing lately, either. Nor [i]will[/i] they raid and kill should they recover. Nor are they by their very nature out to kill the PCs. Stringing a couple of my comments together in an erroneous logical progression which I never claimed doesn't prove anything. The townsfolk and the kobold young are different cases, and you can't use one as a guideline for how you should act with the other. Also, I'd like to note that what the rogue did was not the "expedient" or convenient course of action. That would have been simply leaving the kobolds there to die on their own (as they surely would have.) Instead, the rogue went out of his way to show the kobolds mercy. [/QUOTE]
