Message: <blockquote data-quote="reason" data-source="post: 1540784" data-attributes="member: 6022">using the methods of evil to defeat evilA hero is someone who uses the methods of evil to defeat evil. If you think about the typical D20 good-aligned hero, they steal, inflict death and suffering and break just about every moral code you can think of - in the name of making the world a better place. In this sense, however, evil is whatever the hero sees as evil; a alignment-evil hero can still be a hero - by using the methods of their enemy to engineer their defeat. So heroism is really a sort of metaphysical theft and transcendance: stealing the sword of your enemies - and thus becoming greater than your fellows - in order to triumph. Very primal, very meaningful.Reason</blockquote>
