[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 3106166, member: 1656"] But it's only in the first round that "evil", by itself, matters. In the second and third rounds, it's "evil aura" that matters. And the table tells us that they have an evil aura. If you have a 5th level Neutral cleric of an Evil deity, then in round 1 (assuming we accept the cleric as 'not evil'), the spell returns "No presence of evil". In round 2, the spell tells us the number of evil auras in the area (1, belonging to the cleric, as a cleric of an Evil deity) and the strength of the strongest evil aura (Strong, as a 5th level cleric of an Evil deity). Do you disagree that the cleric possesses an evil aura, regardless of whether or not he is evil? In round 3, the spell tells us the strength and location of each evil aura. (That one, strong, right there where the cleric is.) Whether or not the cleric is considered "presence of evil", he has an evil aura, and that aura is reported on in rounds 2 and 3. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
