[QUOTE="Numion, post: 3901910, member: 124"] Altering power structures will usually result in collateral deaths (like we've seen throughout world history up to this day), and it's always a heated debate if the new power structure is worth the deaths. But to claim that altering the (originally evil) power structure is outright EEVIL? I'd wager not. Example: US civil war. It was not all about slaves (not my strong subject), but should they have let [i]that[/i] power structure standing because altering it was going to cause a lot of death? After all, a system of slavery is a thing that could be called evil in D&D terms. The analogy is not perfect, because in real world changing a power structure quickly usually requires a revolution or war. In D&D a power structure can be effectively decapitated by a group of high-level adventurers. Closest RL analogy would be how a small band of conquistadors punked a whole nation of aztecs with superior technology. [/QUOTE]
