[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7964700, member: 6895991"] Ok, ok, of course having some ethic baseline derived from religion or tradition helps. Still also most animals do not kill their own kind (with some notable exceptions, mostly to enforce survival of the own gene pool like lions killing cubs not their own or accidental lethal outcomes of mating rivals fighting over a female). With humans you have got empathy on top of that, and I think that one is independent of social or religious standards and norms. In fact I would rather say that according standards out of benevolent religions or social norms are just that empathy and social behavior postulated as to be followed, because god likes it or because it is the law. Such behavior makes sense especially for humans, who are "herd animals". Killing each other weakens the herd. So even from a pure survival standpoint it is favorable to follow this code. But what I would be far more interested in than this philosophic discussion, is your opinion on the behavior of the paladin in OPs original question. As stated above, I see the necromancer doing his thing, but should be getting the evil alignment if he does not have it already. But the real bad guy here is the paladin not acting or reacting who should get the visit from the revenant. [/QUOTE]
