[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 4725935, member: 14159"] Forked from: [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/showpost.php?postid=4724470] Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!) [/url] One thing that the discussion on the Good or Evil of V's acts has hinged on is what exactly does a term like "Always Chaotic Evil" mean in a Monster Manual description. By the 3.5 Rules As Written, that means that the overwhelming majority of them are of the listed alignment, but exceptions can and do exist. The Book of Exalted Deeds goes into some length about redeeming evil creatures to nonevil alignments. Many posters stated they interpreted that statement as very literal, if an entry says "Always" that means every single one of that creature is that alignment, no exceptions. Some posters also pointed out there is a inherent distinction to creatures that have the [Evil] subtype and thus are inherently evil, such as Fiends that by their fluff are evil alignments made physically manifest. A case could also be made that undead also have some amount of inherent evil since they are only in existence due to Negative Energy (which is associated with Evil). So, at your table, how do you interpret alignment frequency for your games? [/QUOTE]
