[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 1267466, member: 2067"] Where does it say an evil creature produces an evil aura? Or that a creature with an evil alignment becomes an evil creature? It is far, far from as clear-cut as you're presenting it. I could be missing this, but I don't think it does say that an alignment produces an aura, or that 'evil creature' means 'creature with an evil alingment'...the word "alignment" is never mentioned in the spell, and it doesn't track the alignment of a creature any more than it tracks the alignment of an evil object or spell...it doesn't matter if the evil outsider is redeemed and is Lawful Good, he still *detects* as evil, because alignment isn't what's measured, it's 'evil aura.' And even if I *am* dead wrong in my interpretation, if it's causing a problem that it's detecting alingment, then simply getting rid of that aspect of the spell fixes the problem wholesale, ne? Detect Evil is much ado about nada, even if the rules do say that it detects evil components of a creature's alingment (which is far from proven...simply saying I'm wrong doesn't help your case at all. :)) [/QUOTE]
