Smite [Alignment]

[Lothoir]

Smite Evil and Smite Good: I think it would be pretty awesome if Smite Good and Smite Evil also included neutral aligned characters.


All of the main plot-lines revolve around the fight between good and evil, by making neutral character susceptible to the various smites it would encourage players to take a moral stand on one side or the other.

It would also discourage players going neutral just to be immune to smite.

[Doubtful]

The whole point of the Smite Evil and Smite good is the fact you have to be the opposite to do it.

If you want Smite: Everyone but your alignment, then go for Smite Infidel.

Good v Evil is exactly that. Not Good v those who haven't made clear enough moral choices v Evil.

Smite dem' infidels.

Neutrality is awesome. There's no "Protection from neutral" spell either

[Doubtful]

With great extremism, comes great smiteability...

Some neutral-targetting abilities could be interesting.

'Apethists Bane'....

I've always fealt that the true and chaotic neutral alignments covered too broad a ground to have anything specifically target them....it would be like a country having its nukes aimed at Switzerland or Nepal as opposed to (in a purely analogical sense) the USA and the old USSR.

[Doubtful]

Targeting Neutral would cover to many varieties of alignment (5, as opposed to the good/evil or law/chaos 3).

I'm sure there's also lots of theoretical debate to be had over the notion that Neutrality is simultaneously both all of the extremes, and none of the extremes. It is the best of times, it is the worst of times....

[Root]

I'm pretty sure there are things that target True Neutral exclusively.

Bleh, it's daft how the center of both axis is Neutral.

[Kaizen]

it'd be cool then, if the neutral characters who commited evil acts ... got evil points.

Generally it is something we try and do, unfortunately we are not Omnipotent and are unable to reward points for things we don't see.

Behave like and evil sod, and you'll end up with a more suitable alignment.

[Kaizen]

ah yeah, I didn't intend to attack the DM team ... but now that I reread my post, it was a little more biting than I thought, so .. my bad!

But yes! it was more of a statement to the players themselves. I know of a few people who rolled evil toons with the Neutral alignment factor simply to avoid detect evil and/or paladin smite good.

Will was totally CE, and people knew it.

[Kangleton]

Pyras has never gotten an evil point.

lul.

[Doubtful]

I'll amend that next time I see you IG.
