[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 1779237, member: 707"] Now [i]that[/i] is a great idea. You manage to indirectly point out that the sword should not have been sold off, but rather destroyed from the beginning, and now the PCs have to get it back to take care of it the right way. Nice.An ordinary sword, perhaps. But we're talking about an evil sword. In D&D, Good and Evil are Forces, and an object can be very much more than just a piece of metal. The sword described in this thread is evil. And therefore to use it is to [i]use evil[/i]. And using evil is, well, evil. ;) Note that I don't think simply [i]having[/i] the sword is evil. Had the paladin claimed it to prevent anyone from using it until such a time as he could destroy it, that's all good. But once he starts using it himself, he's crossed the line. [/QUOTE]
