Message: <blockquote data-quote="Trickstergod" data-source="post: 1370218" data-attributes="member: 10825">It still seems more a matter of Good vs. Evil. Charming a woman seems an essentially selfish act, more defined by Evil than anything else. If the wizard didn't do anything "unseemly" and used the charm spell primarily to overcome certain social deficiencies, I could see it being up-graded to a Neutral act. In regards to Law, a Lawful individual would use the spell based on the relation of the victim (which is what the woman would be, no matter ho respectful the wizard was otherwise) in station to himself along with the actual laws of society on the matter, whereas the Chaotic one is less predictable, but Chaos generally implies a certain respect for/preference for free will and the rights of the individual, with those of a Chaotic Good nature being more violently repellant to the idea of charm spells than anyone else you'd meet, while those of a Chaotic Evil alignment would be hypocritical in their opinion on charm spells - that is, they'd likely say that yes, it's evil, wrong and shouldn't be done, but only when it's being done by someone other than the Chaotic Evil individual. Whereas a Lawful Evil one likely would have no problem with them whatsoever. In either case, using charm spells to get dates is at best a Neutral act, but usually Evil in nature. As for capital punishment, how many folk have a few thousand gold? And how many gods do you really think take kindly to their servants using their miracles as a form of transaction? Outside of gods like Waukeen or Hedrada, I hardly think your average god looks kindly on miracles only being performed for those who can afford them. Which is to say, murder should still be murder because most folk can't pay for resurrection, and miracles for money is an idea I think many gods, particularly of a Good nature, would find repugnant. Although I realize on that second part, a good many folk don't play things that way...ahh well.</blockquote>
