[QUOTE="ladyofdragons, post: 416326, member: 5718"] I've always preferred the idea that there are three types of true neutral: those who, as you say, don't care enough to choose sides (sort of a lack of alignment more than anything, which is currently how the PHB describes it, but not how it used to be described in previous editions), animals who do not have alignments, and the third path which is kept by those who strive to keep the balance. The third path is kept to by those who believe that evil must exist in order for us to understand good. i.e., if there were no rainy days, you'd never appreciate the sun. It does not suggest, however, to sit and watch while evil takes over. If evil took over, that would destroy the balance. It doesn't mean that you have to go to the extreme of switching sides in the middle of a battle, either. The balance and outcome of a single battle is trivial in the overall balance of good and evil in the world. but I've just hijacked this thread. Back to discussing evilness. [/QUOTE]
