[QUOTE="Tyler Do'Urden, post: 3214414, member: 4601"] Wait a second... ...you're saying that the powermad looters who want to use power to further their own agenda... aren't heroes? I'm afraid you're very confused. The D&D alignment system is all screwed up; what it calls "good" is altruism and self-sacrifice, which, is not in of itself good. In fact, it leads to stagnation and is ultimately destructive, as it allows weak individuals to survive and pollute the world with their presence and the presence of their weakling spawn. What the game calls "evil", the deliberate inflicting of suffering and self-centered behavior, is actually what is "good", noble and heroic- it promotes the survival of the race, the improvement of race (through the destruction of weaker individuals), the acquisition of power (which is itself nobility), glory, and the establishment of the proper aristocracy of power. It sounds like your Necromancer is, in fact, the only character that truly understands nobility and heroism. Hopefully the rest of the players (and their DM) can figure it out too. [/QUOTE]
