[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 3578569, member: 41321"] I believe in Eberron it's implied that evil actions are not necessary for an evil alignment. Being evil (or good, or lawful, etc) is a part of your personality, even if you never act on it. They mention the possibility of the party having an evil patron and never realizing it. Evil isn't about killing babies and torturing puppies, it's about the willingness to harm others in an effort to get ahead. An evil reporter for the Korranberg Chronicle could be evil because he stole a story from a fellow reporter. Not a huge offense, and not something he could get arrested for, but it shows his evil personality. I think it's an interesting way to look at it. Just because a paladin detects someone as evil doesn't mean you can arrest them, because they may have done nothing wrong in their life, but it might make the paladin not trust the person. It also makes it possible (IMO) to have a party with a combination of good and evil PCs, as long as the evil PCs restrain themselves. [/QUOTE]
