It takes more than intentions to change an existing alignment.The orc child would be neutral but hinting strongly towards the black, since it's not set in stone, either. Once he starts taking action, he'll fall fast. Evil is seductive once you set on that slippery slope.Naturally someone who uses this as an excuse and continually keeps backslipping is just trying to fool themselves, and the Alignments don't play the game.Might be saved is why you don't kill evil people out of hand as you are walking down the street, but if you have to throw down, there's no better indicator for who you should be guiltless in getting rid of.However, it doesn't justify paladin murder-sprees. The average Joe who radiates as evil should be seen by a paladin as a candidate for conversion and uplifting, not termination. Lawful Stupid is not an acceptable alignment for a paladin.</blockquote>
