[QUOTE="MasterOfHeaven, post: 373049, member: 196"] I completely disagree with this. The "Paladin" villian you talk about in your campaign is clearly not LG if he is taking the actions you describe. He's attempting to ruin the reputation of a fellow Paladin over a petty feud they have. That is certainly not Good, and given that they are members of the same church, not very Lawful either. In my games, Evil and Good are defined by actions, not beliefs. A man can believe he is the most wonderful and caring person in the world, when in fact he is one of the most vile and cruel people in existence. I also define Evil with selfishness. Evil, at the very base of it's being, cares for itself above and beyond other beings. This can have a variety of expressions, but the selfishness is always there at the core. I don't believe in "the ends justify the means", as well, so I consider it a good act for you to refuse to murder someone to save a hundred others, and an evil act to do the opposite. [/QUOTE]
