If people perfectly knew what was wrong with their computer, they could ...

There's no need, our love will always shine too bright for any loss of data to hold it back.

<4... I mean <3

Fallen autumn leaves of my heart's gaze
I'm left cold and frozen, my soul is ablaze
I no longer see light, only my wrists under the blade
I wish it didn't come to this, but being past 9 pm... my parents... forbade.

I'm surprised Save Versus Stupid hasn't posted in here yet.[br][br]While I don't consider myself to be a skilled d&d nerd, I'd call myself an utter wet-behind-the-ears nooblet at most, I'm all over the metal and lately industrial.[br][br]Name-droppage to ensue.... in 3, 2, now.

Soooo.... we're basically mass-marauding rapists? I like it!

Yeah, much like how the Romans or Greeks would worship all of the gods but pick one to be their patron diety, it makes sense for a Cleric to respect and possibly pray to all gods, but serve only one. [br][br]I see no reason why a priest of Tempus wouldn't do a favor for the Red Knight or possibly ev...

That last post made my pants tighter. But I agree, a Paladin's law is by holy decree of his/her god, and above the law of the land. At least, that's how I see it.

Yeah, they basically are overly-ridiculous paladin-esque enforcers of laws that suck, but they're so cool![br][br]Plus, I imagine having a Marut help you clear out a necromancer's tomb/lair would be a pretty nifty sight... err imaginitive visage? Interestingly enough, I wonder if a Marut would also ...

The inevitables! Possibly my favourite 'things' (in theory). They're basically lawful neutral constructs from Mechanus that run around enforcing laws that humanoids break!

Dragon magezine had a pretty nifty piece on them, The Ecology of ____, fun read.

What was the final project like? Make an over-coat out of human skin? A child encased in molten iron made into a priceless figurine? A machine that makes puppies kill themselves?

1154400078[/unixtime]] The problem with it all is that there are a lot of key intangible factors involved that we as humans can process but the system can't. [br][br]And we humans don't process it the same way, either... I actually took a psychology/philosophy program at college called "Evil.&...

1154396865[/unixtime]][br]I'm not sure that I'd classify either one of those examples as specifically neutral evil, but - with heavy emphasis in the fact that the first man's motivation is actually greed - I'd certainly dump both into the "evil" camp. [br][br]Most definitely - the only re...

Yeah, Neeek managed to sum it all up pretty well...

On an aside, Nerem - was part of your character's history influenced by Tactics Ogre/cling together?

Hmm... the problem is undoing it would unhinge a lot of spells... smile evil, protection from, as well as the bonus abilities spells recieve when used against evil (or chaotic... or good... or etc.) opponents.

1154342338[/unixtime]]But neither stealing, nor narcing on your nieghbor are evil acts. They are purely a law/chaos thing. The acts may also be good/evil depending on motive, but are probably neutral in those regards. Law/chaos determines your view of society, while good/evil is your motive behind ...

1154334985[/unixtime]]That's exactly why I implemented the 'devotion' mechanic. It seperates the jerks who get by at other people's expense from the people from people who thrive on it. Turning in your nieghbor, or calling the cops on him is a lawful, and not an evil act by the way. Even stealing i...

[br][br]This fellow, from this description, doesn't have an alignment (unless you start at true neutral and move from there).[br][br]Having money and passing it out isn't really a reflection of anything unless he's doing so for som...

1154292485[/unixtime]][br][br]Well, this fellow isn't realy all that evil. He's chaotic, because he was so removed from society that he was thrown out, and because he seems big on self sufficiency. He's not good aligned, because he wishes other people ill, but he's not evil aligned either, because ...

Won't somebody think of the (Kobold) children!?

Not bad. The "magnitude" clause, or your devotion, is something that's really missing from the alignment system... then again the entire thing is pretty bankrupt (unless you play on a fool's list of black of white). [br][br]I always thought about doing away with it and simple having a guag...
