[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 4032582, member: 54707"] I agree. I'll give you an example. When I was a kid I used to play a Paladin. My party was in a fight against a fella who had wiped out an entire city with a vicious mutant smallpox plague and in the fight things were pretty much going against us. We were in the bad-guy's lair and I happened to notice that he had left a glob of pure evil just lying around. Using my paladin powers and sensing what it was I picked it up and slung it at the fella and with a natural 20 hit him square in his manhood. Seconds later it had burned his britches completely off and severely and brutally scared up his nether-regions, not to mention most all of his outdoors. He was instantly traumatized and fled the scene and although we never got him I did hear later that he had spent three years in therapy with an internationally renown talking sage, just trying to put it all behind him (so to speak). After that I started carrying around a glob of pure evil everywhere I went. Pure evil is pretty potent stuff if you use it right. Eventually my party started calling me the PEP Boy, for Pure Evil Paladin. Now I didn't use pure evil just whenever, but if we ever came across just the right situation then I'd give the bad guys a good taste of their own, or maybe two or three tastes and a complimentary breakfast-on-the-run to boot. That worked out just fine most of the time because I like to see most people eat well, even if they can't always eat healthy. Not long after that we quit playing alignment altogether because some of the boys in my outfit got jealous that pure evil worked better as a weapon in my hands as a paladin than for their warforged fiddly-diddly-doos. But that's the price you pay for being war-forged, ain't it? And yes I'm just joking. That's not really the price you pay for being war-forged. That's just one of the prices you pay for being war-forged. But all in all, I'm with you more or less, alignment sucks. It's the daffy-duck of Role Playing. [/QUOTE]
