[QUOTE="dvvega, post: 2037444, member: 524"] Well for starters ... IMHO ... killing him after the contract was fulfilled was a Lawful Evil act. Although not specified exactly, there is an understanding that the zombie-guy want to "live happily ever after" on the beach. The group agreed, and then the Exalted character looked for that loop hole to justify killing him. Now to stop any arguments let us assume it was Lawful Neutral - "to the letter of the contract", however I still think it is LE. Okay so the contract was fulfilled. His party has given their word, and he did as well. He may not have verbalised it, however he went along with it. If he knowingly went along with it to kill the guy after the fact, then he was going against an agreement made by the party. By not verbalising against the contract, he accepted the contract. Now onto exalted characters: did he try to redeem the evil that was the zombie? after a long drawn out attempt at redemption, failure to do so may warrant the attack. Now lets go all the way to what do the Jedi think? Was this in line with the teachings of the force? No it wasn't. Where was the honor in backstabbing the evil guy (backstabbing in the language sense, not game sense)? I would remove his Exalted status immediately, but with the "back door" of Atonement. Why the back door? Because perhaps the player didn't fully realise the consequences. Give them a chance to erase the mistake, but make it a difficult one. D [/QUOTE]
