[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 7963029, member: 6788736"] In your view, can a morally Good person contemplate murder, without agonising over it? In my view if that 'morally good' person doesn't agonise over potentially committing a murder (even of a vile victim) they're not morally a Good person. Heck; in my view no morally Good person commits murders. In no other place other than a role-playing forum does the above sentence attract debate. Because firstly, they're not inherently evil. And even for creatures that ARE inherently evil (Fiends) there are examples (RAW, explained in the Monster Manual) of extremely rare Good ones. And inherently Good creatures (Angels) becoming evil. So not only are they not inherently evil, even if they were, there would be Good (and Neutral) ones out there. And the characters cant know their alignment, any more than you can know mine. They can make subjective judgements of course. Heck, plenty of Evil PCs probably dont see themselves (or Orcs for that matter) as being evil at all. Of course they're not human. They're Orcs. Elves arent human either, and neither are Dwarves so who cares? Ditto with the 'monster created for the sole purpose of war'. My that metric Warforged are in a lot of strife as well arent they?
