Message: <blockquote data-quote="The_Gneech" data-source="post: 1945900" data-attributes="member: 6779">This reminds me of the story of the burglar who is injured breaking into somebody's house and then successfully sues the homeowner. The dopplegangers are wholly in the wrong here -- even if it's a neutral race, these individual specimens are clearly evil. On a case-by-case basis:The monk was right in line with lawful good. He made no promises to anybody, was willing to hear what the dopplegangers had to say, and wanted to turn them over to the proper authorities. He also tried to keep things orderly when the rogue went berserk.The rogue's actions were more Chaotic Foolish than anything else; it may be a nudge away from the light, but on the other hand, he was plenty provoked. It's not like he sat around thinking, "Y'know, I want to go slaughter some dopplegangers." They came after him!The sorceress, from your description, was mostly following the monk's lead, which puts her in the N to NG range.The dwarf was all over the map, which I suppose makes sense for CN. Attempting to finish off the doppleganger is pretty grim, tho. (Of course, Gimli says, "tell me what I want to know and I'll ease your passing," and nobody seems to think it was out of line. So that's debatable.)As for the rogue breaking in to kill the doppleganger, I'm a bit mystified by this. What's his motivation? Did the doppleganger kill his love interest, or just assume her shape? If the former, it's a grim-but-reasonable action that might nudge him toward CN, but not evil. If the latter, it does seem way out of proportion.   -The Gneech <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
