[QUOTE="Cygnus, post: 1946050, member: 9314"] As a reminder to some above: the rogue is CG. That being said, the only major alignment issue that I see is the dagger. I'm not sure that a CG person would be able to use something that seems clearly Evil. The monk: Lawfull Good: let the elected/appointed representatives dispose of the criminals in the fasion that they see fit since they (in fact) offered the information before an actuall agreement was reached (letter of the "law"). From a LG point of view, I would suggest that the final goal of an agreement in this case would be to agree to spare their lives for the information and then turn them over to the proper authorities. Sorceress: I don't see to much here; she did as she was asked...next time, not so much. CN doesn't mean "always does reverse." Dwarf: CN, no concern for order or consistency; good/evil: could be dangerous extremes to be avoided or just aspects of life that are intermitently visited as the individual feels that the situation warents. If the Dwarf is going to be "comdemned" to the dark side just because he does something considered evil, then he must also never be allowed to do anything considered good: that's a bit silly. So since he didn't kill the (say 3 for the sake of example) remaining 3 members of the family, that's three acts of mercy (good, for this example) versus 1 act of evil---moving him closer to the good side of the spectrum. See: silly. Admittedly there are different gradients of good/evil actions that can move one closer to one side or the other per each action, but in this case the Dwarf was finishing a job rather than just deciding to kill the creature. Had he tried to save it, would anyone be worried about his alignment shifting towards good? I doubt it. The only "true neutral" action to take would be to watch and let nature take its course and accept the creature's life or death without care one way or the other. Rogue: Chaos, not Law: He was the vigilante metting out an (admitedly) too emotional response to what he thought was the appropriate response to the crime, and it was a crime. He was in this case the vigilante. But he's CG and the creature was unarmed you say...When was the last time the you saw them bring a criminal to the electric chair and handed him/her a loaded shotgun? Yet we still tend to think of ourselves as good, and in some form or fasion, we abide the system that keeps this practice of execution in place. But yea, the dagger is a problem, probably courupting him over the passage of time whether he realizes it or not. [/QUOTE]
