[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 7963106, member: 15882"] Just to pipe in on the moral dilemmas of Good and Evil. This is purely my opinion: 1. An Evil Angel is a Devil. It's, literally, a fallen angel. A Good Devil is called an Angel. 2. Evil monsters are evil and a scourge to humanity. Most* of Humanity is not suffering a moral dilemma over the fact that we are trying to eradicate Covid 19. It is a living entity and yet humanity is dead-set on eradicating it. In my campaigns, if I choose to include an Evil race, such as orcs or goblins, they are viewed by humanity in the same way as we view a plague. They must be eradicated and the people who do so are not seen as murderers, they are seen as our current day doctors and nurses: Heroes on the front line, saving humanity. And I don't draw any lines between sentient (an orc) and non-sentient(a virus) scourges. An orc is just a smarter and more complex force than a plague. That said, I don't typically depict Orcs as evil in my campaigns, but that's just my own take on it. I see them more as Klingons. Just a war-like, tribal species. In which case, Flamestrike's views on moral dilemma might hold a bit of water in my campaigns. But, no matter what, Devils are still Always Evil because they are Paragons of evil. They are, Evil incarnate. A Devil that turns away from evil is 'elevated' and becomes an Angel. So, If a Devil isn't Evil, then it's not a Devil. Once again, purely my opinion. [SIZE=1]*I suppose people could argue that, as a natural phenomena, allowed to spread. I maintain that isn't the opinion of the masses. (I'd also like to avoid that debate and stay on topic)[/SIZE] On topic: @[B][USER=6801213]akr71[/USER][/B] I think it's perfectly justifiable to have a Revnant stalk the Necromancer. Just Make sure you have a variety of ways of this story-line coming to a reasonable end: the death of the PC, Making amends and laying the Revnant to rest or having it as a long-term villain who is focused on killing the PC. It might be cool to have the Revnant become a powerful undead General that starts taking over parts of the country in order to become powerful enough to destroy the Necromancer. There's nothing to say your Revenent can't see the character's death as a long-term goal. All that is important is that his actions are driven by the Necromancer's eventual death. Why not throw some innocent people under the bus while he's at it? [/QUOTE]
