[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 3259035, member: 11697"] *polite chuckle* Ignoring for the moment that half of the PCs in my current campaign would glow various shades of evil under that spell... I would ask players if they're retarded if they pulled the stunt of "detect evil and proceed to kill and take the stuff of anything that glows". Killing something for no reason other than it's evil is IMHO one of the most grating and shallow behaviors you could pull in an RPG. God forbid you have to coexist with evil people, and in my campaign you'd have a massive headache if you kept the "beatdown radar" up, oh what with the fiends and all wandering around and living in the same city you're based out of. Attacking some random person for being of a not kosher alignment would only have you thrown in jail, exiled, or executed for assault or murder. "Ah hah! I knew it!
