[QUOTE="Viktyr Gehrig, post: 1386764, member: 9249"] You know, I think Sejs had it right. The dwarf is probably firm-set in his belief that if he turned those goblins loose, he'd be responsible for the next baby they ate or the next well they poisoned. I don't think that makes it a good act-- I could believe the same thing about Celestials, for instance. But it does make the act morally consistent with the character's beliefs and prior actions. If this came up frequently, it'd be cause for him to become a Lawful Neutral. On the other hand, as long as he's a Dwarf, and as long as he hates goblins, and as long as he doesn't have incontrivertible proof that the goblins he's killing are actually Good, it'll never make him Evil. I think Kamikzae Midget is off-base-- certainly, a single incident like this isn't enough to change his alignment, and racism isn't enough to rule out a Good alignment, though it's certainly a character flaw that can lead to evil. There's also a difference between being merely Lawful Good and being "holy". [/QUOTE]
