[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 374555, member: 2067"] I do agree with the "always" rule, personally. IMC, only those with connections to those forces will show up as either/or to detecting spells, etc. Though since they may not be fighting Evil and even if they are, it doesn't mean they can kill them. Also, just because you have an alignment is no reason to act within it 100% of the time. Also, the ease of detecting evil makes investing in protections very important. The thing I've always wondered is, if it is good to kill evil beings, why aren't the weaker evil beings wiped out by the powerful celestials? Heck, even the non-evil beings (Lawful and Chaotic neutrals) would likely want to put and end to the creatures. I mean, sure, the celestial may not be able to destroy all evil, but they could at least destroy all orcs on the world, and that's one less stronghold of evil. Heck, the more potent ones could probably destroy all the mind flayers in the world, and be only breaking a sweat. There has be a reason why the epitomes of good and law don't lay waste to the masses of evil creatures in the world -- a reason that, just because they know it's evil, they don't kill it. Answer that, and you have a campaign where detect-type spells won't nessecarily be a liscence to kill. [/QUOTE]
