[QUOTE="Hardhead, post: 1263823, member: 2844"] Agreed. Would a normal person risk his own life to jump into the fray? No. But would a normal person, knowing that there are police right behind the door next to him, not even bother to alert them as a man gets beaten to death in front of him? No way. I imagine the vast majoirty of people would take the two seconds to poke their head through the door and say "Hey, someone is getting beaten to death over there." True, but the SRD doesn't specify who is doing the killing. IMO, it could be the character in question, or anyone else. From the descriptions, neutral NPCs are generally against innocents dying (even if they won't make sacrifices to stop it). In this case, no sacrifce or commitment was required to stop it, thus, it doesn't fall squarely under "neutral" as defined by the SRD. Admitedly, it doesn't fall squarely under evil, either, so it's a bit of a judgement call. I'd lean toward evil, based on the little bit of detail provided. [/QUOTE]
