Message: <blockquote data-quote="Skallgrim" data-source="post: 4720514" data-attributes="member: 79271">List me as another who cannot understand any system of morality in which this is not Evil.Grant that vengeance, even DELIGHT, in suffering isn't evil.Grant that every single black dragon ever, anywhere, is absolutely evil, irredeemably.Grant that killing any evil creature, ever, in any method, for any reason, is not evil.We are SPECIFICALLY shown creatures which are NOT black dragons.  You have NO evidence, infomation, or reason, to assume that these creatures MUST be evil.  We have been given no information to suggest that V. has done the research to establish that every family relation of the dragon is evil.  There is nothing to suggest that in the OOTS world, every familial relation of a evil entity is evil, or that every familial relation of a dragon shares its alignment.  There is nothing to suggest that all of these beings are even aware of V., or even aware of the dragon itself.I can't see any possible, intelligible way for anyone to argue that V. knows that this Familicide spell will only target Evil, or even Neutral, members of the Dragon's family. Thus, given the information that we have, and not any made up information, V. freely chooses to use a spell which will kill all beings, related by blood to an evil dragon, because one of them might conceivably, possibly do something to hurt his family, IF they even learn about the existence of V.This rationale would justify killing every single person in the universe, because it is conceivably possible that person might be able, at some point, for some reason, to hurt your family.How is this not Evil?  You are murdering someone you know nothing about, who knows nothing about you, and who may have lived and died never interacting with you, based SOLELY on their family relation to someone else.  If this isn't an evil act, then I think your alignment system must be pretty fricking useless.</blockquote>
