[QUOTE="Vanuslux, post: 3327596, member: 937"] That's not a very valid argument in this situation. This isn't a situation of simply ignoring the good of a people and focusing (and often wholly manufacturing) the evil of them to justify their destruction. These creatures aren't just culturally different...if they radiate Evil under Detect Evil from birth then they are monsters, not people. By RAW, Scrags aren't born evil but apparently in this DMs campaign they are so it's not just a weak excuse for genocide. A creature being born radiating evil indicates to me that the potential for for good in the creature is so limited by its nature that it is extremely improbable under the best of circumstances that it would ever become good and it's unlikely that you'll ever find one that won't rend the flesh off the bone of any small child it finds and won't enjoy their screams of pain. I'm fairly sure that any society that's every promoted genocide could have easily found good and decent members of those people they wished destroyed. These scrags aren't just different from humans, they are factually ravening flesh-eating monsters by nature based on the fact that they radiate evil from birth. [/QUOTE]
