Message: <blockquote data-quote="rushlight" data-source="post: 1741991" data-attributes="member: 3801">In my mind, the difference between a CN slaadi who kills a bunch of random people and a CE slaadi who kills a bunch of random people is intent.  If it's just killing because it's mad/hungry/whatever then it's CN.  While it may be intellegent, it's not killing for pleasure or selfish gain - it's killing because of instinct.  Knowingly killing innocents for profit and fun would be evil.  I also would consider the Borg to be CN.  They don't have a particular hatred for all life, nor is their intent to eradicate everything in the galaxy.  Their goal is to take lower life-forms and elevate them into a better life-form - a much more advanced, stronger, better life-form (from their perspective).  Even Jean Luc realized they weren't Evil - as witnessed in the episode where they found the Borg scout and sent that virus back.  His guilt, and torture over the decision shows that even he didn't think they were acting out of spite, or "pure evilness" - even though they still had to be stopped.As an aside, in my campaign, the slaad have featured heavily.  They were part of a massive army, which would likely have cut a swath through the human lands on the material plane.  However, they weren't there to fight the humans - they had come to stop the destruction of their plane.  Unfortunatly, the humans are just in the way.  Of course, if they'd move aside and let the slaadi army pass unmolested through their lands there wouldn't be much bloodshed.  But I don't see those kingdoms just opening their gates to an army of outsiders - especially if the humans don't know the intent of the slaad.  The slaad are likely to kill anyone between them and their goal.</blockquote>
