[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4724997, member: 2067"] It's odd; I agree with everything you say up until this point. IMC, while negative energy doesn't necessarily mean "evil," EVIL energy DOES mean EVIL. Killing a being with the (evil) tag (as opposed to the Always Evil alignment) is almost always justified, because the thing is like a golem made of evil -- raw evil energy given form, incapable of choice or free will (it's part of the personality conflict inherent in tieflings, for one). That said, there are circumstances where the succubus is minding its own business and there are ways of killing her that would really be as evil as she is -- even the substance of the creature is no excuse for doing evil actions to it. The Always Evil alignment is different, as is demonstrated over and over again in this thread, especially for unhatched eggs and related-but-not-always-evil kin. Also, [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PayEvilUntoEvil"]this[/URL], [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MoralMyopia"]this[/URL], and [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MoralDissonance"]this[/URL] helps add to the "what V did was evil even if it was OK" pile. IMC, there's no place for Good to have such double standards. "It's not OK for you, but it's OK for me because of what you are!" is not an acceptable Neutral outlook. That's putting your life as more important than others, which is the selfishness and egotism that is a hallmark of evil. [/QUOTE]
