[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 1754660, member: 5143"] Not in D&D. In D&D, an object can radiate evil. A place can radiate evil. The BoVD says that places where a lot of evil has happened should radiate evil afterwards. It is tangible and you can actually say "that thing is evil, let's not touch it." That's why entire planes can be evil. Not because evil creatures live there. Rather it is the other way around, the creatures live there BECAUSE the place is evil. Evil has just as much form and substance as water, magic, or hamburgers. Plus, if you look at some of the examples from the BoED and BoVD as to what evil is, you will find that one CAN commit evil without knowing one is, if the person hasn't bothered to even try to figure out if the easiest path is the correct one. You were told that guy was a demon in disguise and you just killed him? Did you even detect evil on him? Did you even check to make sure the person who gave you the information wasn't lying? Try communing with your god to determine if that was the correct course? No? Well he wasn't a demon...and you, my friend are now evil. [/QUOTE]
