Message: <blockquote data-quote="I'm A Banana" data-source="post: 3202010" data-attributes="member: 2067">You say that like it's a challenge.Again, this is a fairly simple argument to counter:I'm confused. What part of being a Paladin of Wee Jas means you have to tolerate Evil, again? Sure, it exists in the sect, but it won't exist within *your* sword's reach, that for sure. A paladin's job is never done, and struggling against the evil followers of your deity (a true jihad!, an inquisition!) is certainly a noble goal for the Lawful and Good.Not quite. Gravity is felt by every human being. "Good," as a force, is only noticed and detected by the elitely trained and special. Maybe the only person in your farming community who is aware of it as a force at all is that weird old lady who makes potions (the village adept), and she's only aware of it when she goes into a trance.Besides that, not everybody wants to be good. Not everybody should be good. Cranky Cleetus the racist big farm owner who "employs" uneducated immigrant half-orc slaves and breeds them like cattle (and amuses himself by hunting the young 'uns) might be a vile, evil human being, but his farm's the most prosperous one here in Podunk. Yeah, that wierd old potion lady could tell us he's evil, but as long as he keeps to himself and doesn't take any of MY children away, what do I care what he does on his own land with his own property? It might make me nervous to know he's there, but I'm just Farmer Bill, I can't do jack. The nearest cleric is three day's hike through the goblinwood, and I've got a harvest to attend to. No, Cranky Cleetus will be punished perhaps after death, perhaps by the gods. In fact, I pray to Wee Jas every month hoping that the wicked get their just punishment in the afterlife.</blockquote>
