OOTS #1230 - The Discussion Thread

[Doug Lampert]

This isn't DnD though, it's a comic that uses that as a base and follows its rules and conventions until it doesn't. And given the themes of the story (that the also some time explicitly comments on when people go "but in DnD this would be okay!") I see no reason to take it as a given that such things and mind set aren't regarded as evil here.

Also:
D&D 3.0 and 3.5 both are very clear in the PHB definitions of the various alignments that callous indifference to the welfare of others is EVIL. You need not have a malicious thought in your entire life to be solidly evil in D&D land.

~1/3 of the entire human population of the world is EVIL, it need not be a slavering monster, because slavering monsters are necessarily rare since mass murder being common in a race that lives in groups quickly results in the entire race being rare.
