[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 1176310, member: 7394"] Actually that's not at all true. There's a spell called sanctify the wicked, which goes along with the sanctified creature template. The purpose of these is to provide a way to redeem a creature that is normally inherently evil. This means that you can now have good red dragons, good demons, and good devils. Orcs and goblins can likewise be turned to good in this way also, if someone wanted to waste all those resources to making it happen. The creature must be willing, which is the catch, but it does allow for exactly this type of thing. Of all the things I contributed to this book, I think sanctify the wicked is the most important because it defines a resolution to an issue that had previously only been guessed at and wrestled with by numerous DMs. [I]Edit:[/I] When you look at the TOC, you'll notice that good is defined (to the extent that it was decided it should be defined) in chapter 1, which is all of 15 pages. It answers a lot of moral questions that arise, but it still leaves the DM room to make their own judgment calls on some issues. [/QUOTE]
