HOD

[Twiggy]

Problem- Reapers in HOD aren't evil

can that be changed please?

[Tsavong]

Why do undead have to be evil?

Do the reapers in HOD even have the inelegance to work out of they are evil?

Why is it that when it snows here people take the day off work to buy more bread and milk than they could eat be for it goes off?

[mining]

Yah, Zerg is right, its not a problem. I mean, Undead are technically neutral aligned unless animated by a necromancer, iirc, because they have no natural intelligence?

[LinuxPup]

Virtually all undead are chaotic evil by definition... there might some exceptions, but yeah that looks like a bug.

[mining]

Well, whats the flavour of reapers? Their examine seems not to suggest evilness to me.

[Twiggy]

can i kiss you linux?

after reading the responses i almost wanted to throw up on myself.

Except the SRD states that a good solid quantity of undead are lawful, neutral evil. There're also a number of lawful good / any alignment undead, additionally see Necropolitan from Libris Morti, Dry Lich from... Sandstorm? , the Deathless type of undead from BoED, Good Lich from Monsters of Faerun, Emancipated Spawn from savage species.

let's play a game called what's different in HOD. whoever wins get's a cookie!

good or neutral undead don't attack or try to kill you upon seeing you. Like my good friend hulk they just want to be left alone.

[Rufio]

but we are the ones invading their homes and slaughtering them. It is just in defense.

They are innocent! We are the monsters!

[mining]

Exactly, Rufio. I mean, look at Celestia!

[Daral0085]

Yes, those gentle reapers just want to harvest the fields of corpses around them, much like their skull harvester friends. What good aligned creature *wouldn't* want to live near the sea of graves?

i remember just before the '08 wipe, once late at night, squishee was able to "control" one of the reapers. then using the bugged portal system, we brought it back to LA to mess around. something about being the necromancer's pet made it increase in power. like from 800 hp to 1200 and maxed its ab bonus or somesuch. it's DR was obsurd. not a single one of us could defeat it.

i think it was Ajantis that decided to raid and got maimed a few times too. finally squishee got killed or something and thus lost control of it. it go soo mad and turned on us and wiped every single one of us. the thing was doing massive damage and more than one of us got one shotted. i didn't even get a hit on the thing. i can't remember laughing harder.

so reapers always hold a special place for me because of that night. that one was definitely Evil.

haha, good times. sounds like fun

are monster in celestia not good? if they are all good then wats the point in bringing them up in this conversation? I think linux is fixing it so it's a moot point to argue, but can we agree that it is the place that makes them evil and not the creature itself? That way we are both happy. I get my evil reapers i can smite, and you get your neutral undead. Just somewhere else.

[Rufio]

lol twiggy, did you hear a wooshing sound at any point as you were reading this thread? I'll explain (i.e. ruin) the joke.

I was joking that the monsters were innocent creatures that we just go and slaughter for cheap thrills and loot, while all they do is try to defend themselves. Mining agreed, citing celestia as a place where all the creatures are naturally good and should not attack unless they were doing so in defense.

oh well

I was in that fight. Funny stuff besides the xp losses when killed by them
