[QUOTE="reveal, post: 1908206, member: 1236"] Eberron Campaign Last session, the players opened a locked door and two Earth Elementals (Medium sized) came Bull Rushing out the door. Combat ensued but the EE's just kept running down the stairs towards the entrance to the building. They never attacked anyone. One PC, with an alignment of Chaotic Good, was the only character to actively chase the creatures. The cleric stood in front of the PC after she surmised the EE's were not going to harm them. The cleric asked the PC "Why are you chasing after them?" to which the PC replied "Because I want to kill them." Later, I wrote to the player and explained to him that he is CG. I know that in Eberron the alignments are more shades of gray then black and white. If he had answered with something like "They may come back to attack/ambush us" or "They were locked up for a reason..." I wouldn't have thought anything about it. But to say "Because I want to kill them" seems like a VERY non-good thing to say, no matter which setting you're using. I warned him that if he did something like this again, there would be an alignment shift. He told me he understood. So here's my question: Was this a Chaotic Good act to you? Was I right in warning of a possible alignment shift if a similar scenario played out in the future? [/QUOTE]
