Message: <blockquote data-quote="steeldragons" data-source="post: 5563765" data-attributes="member: 92511">Having dwelt upon this scenario for a bit...and thinking of how I would think/act as a player and a DM...another couple of thoughts...Specifically, are there other "Lawful Good" PCs? How did they react to his actions? How did they react to the slaying of a LG NPC? I think everyone in the party needs to take a hard lok at how their characters react, regardless of how they feel as players (I, personally as a player, would be ripshit!)As a DM...and this totally goes to how your DM treats/how closely she charts  Alignment in her campaign...but for me, I would say, murdering a LG NPC is a Chaotic Evil act...this does not go towards any personal belief or justification the dwarf character believes...it is how alignment is treated in the game. If everyone of any alignment is allowed to simply create their own definition and act [what they feel is] accordingly, then alignment, obviously doesn't matter.But, specifically for matters of religious belief, alignment (IMHO) MUST matter and, thus, actions be answered for.As a DM, I would give the dwarf a single 1 more opportunity to act in such a manner...and then, he (or perhaps paladinic N/PCs will notice HE detects as "evil." Maybe the next time someone casts a "protection from evil", he feels some weakness...next time some casts "Detect Evil"...he shows up like a beacon...In short, his actions are his actions...and they have caused an Alignment change...again, this is not what the character BELIEVES himself to be...but in the cosmic scales...it is what he has shone himself to be...Some form of atonement or "penance" might be an interesting side-quest/plot. I also, heartily agree with Aborzanzorax's reccomendation that some "Knowledge" skills towards his religion be made mandatory by the party/church. Perhaps encounter an NPC cleric of St. Cuthbert to chastise him roundly about the ears...or beard...as the case may be.Have fun and good luck.--Steel Dragons</blockquote>
