[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 374606, member: 2067"] Which means that if the PC's use "they're evil!" as an excuse to wipe out a party of bugbears, they could see one of the most bizarre alliances capable, when the next time they see a group of bugbears, they're guarded by a celestial or two... Or, at least, if they make a habit of that. That also implies that they won't destroy all evil in the world, given the chance. That they'll allow some evil to happen, and just hope that greater good can surmount it. They will allow, concede for some evil to happen, so that the good can counteract it. It's a bit of a heartless view of things, but there are certain aspects that appeal to me with that kind of worldview. It means that if a paladin PC starts to drop to the lowest level of the Abyss and actually may clear it, that some high-powered celestial would be up for physically stopping them...because if the Abyss didn't exist, then it would throw everything out of whack. It means that if something had the power to wipe out the lower planes, the forces of Good would be very much against the use of that, despite how many lives it would save. That makes fallen celestials concievable, even as more common than risen fiends (since they see nothing wrong with throwing everything out of whack). It's not nessecarily a wrong reason, and it is probably actually one of the most likely. And it solves the problem of PC's killing things because it's simply evil...evil is nessecary, though unfortunate. It solves the problem. :) [/QUOTE]
