[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3338732, member: 2067"] I sincerely hope you realize I'm talking about a fantasy world where objective good and evil can be determined with 100% certainty. Because we are in an RPG discussion forum on a D&D website, and not talking at all about a real-world scenario or morality. :confused: Why not? Because a fantasy world's moral code doesn't mesh up with what you think is good and evil in the real world? That's like saying that someone who had never tried cast a magic spell couldn't tell you what a wizard's supposed to be like. Ease up on the personal attacks, there, Porkins. [IMG]http://www.msu.edu/~daggy/cop/images/00000561.gif[/IMG] Stay on target! Stay on target! In order so that those who will listen will hear, it is entirely consistent in a D&D universe to have killing a pregnant woman be an entirely Good-aligned action. Death is not always an evil thing -- death of an evil being, in fact, is a good thing. And if a powerful evil being can be prevented from even coming to be, by the death of a single good being, it is better to allow that person to die than to allow them to live. If they fight you, they may even be guilty of evil -- they are selfishly considering their own life above the lives of those that will be harmed by what they bring. Good. Is. Not. Always. Nice.
