But when it is only about nonviolent conflict there wouldn't have been a need to make them unaligned.And considering that 4E removed many out of combat abilities, the official stance on stat blocks is "only combat abilities are needed" and how many people seem to think that "You don''t need monsters you don't fight" it is pretty clear to me that a change of alignment away from good to unaligned is to promote violent conflict.Unless the DM presents any good reason no to then yes, that seems to be the case in 4E. And don't you agree that a change from good to unaligned makes it easier for PCs to attack those creatures unless the DM gives them a reason not to?Thats not really compareable. Dark Sun (and likely RC although I don't know what that means) are campaign settings with specific rules. But here we are talking about default D&D and so no matter what campaign setting is played new players will assume that every non-PC race is by default an enemy to be killed unless the DM gives them a reason not to do that.You might not think that the scenario I outlined will happen, but I do. Maybe not to me, but I will. And I am not very thrilled about this new way of role playing WotC apparently wants to promote with their "No good" policy.</blockquote>
