Message: <blockquote data-quote="delericho" data-source="post: 2947248" data-attributes="member: 22424">As mentioned above, alignment is descriptive rather the proscriptive. Consequently, a member of any alignment could slit the FB's throat in his sleep. However, that doesn't change the alignment of the action itself.Assuming the question was instead "assuming a character is acting within his normal alignment, which alignments could..." I vote that only an Evil character could kill the FB like that simply for being an FB. A Good character should instead be seeking help for the FB.However, once the FB has engaged in one of the trademark rampages of the class, matters rather change. In this instance, even a Good character might be convinced that death is the appropriate response. Until such a rampage occurred, though, a Good character cannot be swayed by what might happen - because there's no actual reason that the FB might not have it under control.I'm also inclined to think that any Lawful alignment would balk at killing the guy in his sleep. Instead, I would expect such character would insist on randering the FB helpless while he slept, then waking him and proceeding from there. A LE character is likely to want to explain why the FB has to die, if only to prolong his suffering. A LN character would demand that the FB get a chance to defend himself, while a LG character would object to killing a sleeping opponent on principle except where no other option is available (which doesn't apply here). Also, betraying a friend by killing himself while he slept would be incompatible with the character of any LG person I've ever encountered, no matter how deserved and necessary the action was.</blockquote>
