What's the word on Druid alignment since 1.64? Do I need to stay NE or can I start working my way to CE now?

I think fundamental respect for human life has to come in as a big part of 'good' alignment, Szabot. If your argument for 'good' is simply believing that what you are doing is right and just, almost everyone would qualify.
By saying a 'good' druid could place a higher value on the forest and animals than human life, you can end up with 'good' druids murdering people and grinding them up for fertilizer. That would be for the 'greater good' of the forest, right? And as long as the druid doing the murdering and grinding believes in what he's doing, he's 'good'?
(Of course, I didn't notice this discussion was pretty old when I posted this. Always too late for the good arguments.)

Ack! I don't remember what I wrote here. I was very surprised to see you address your post to me. I'm leaving...right now for vacation. I'll get back to you.Kaid Allin wrote:I think fundamental respect for human life has to come in as a big part of 'good' alignment, Szabot.
