    Even if you don't, D&D (and OotS) generally does--look at the deva's interview with Roy for an example of good and evil deeds being measured against each other.

    Having said that, I'm personally of the opinion that there are some deeds too evil for any good act to atone for--e.g. after watching the prequels I don't believe Darth Vader's act in killing the Emperor in any way compensated for his pre-meditated murder of a temple full of young children. In a similar way I don't believe anything good Tarquin has done or could ever do, even if he were inclined to do anything like that, would compensate for the evil we already know he's perpetrated.

    Hey, look. It's a not-even-thinly-veiled, "Is Tarquin morally justified?" thread with a sprinkle of real-world political references thrown in for seasoning.

    Locked.
