Is Hilgya Chaotic Evil or Chaotic Neutral II - It's always personal

[Keltest]

Except I'm a mellow guy. I'd nothave done it if I hadn't been provoked.

And? "He started it" wasn't even a legitimate defense in kindergarten.

Reacting when wronged is Neutral.

[Ironsmith]

Reacting when wronged is Neutral.

Reacting in proportion when wronged is Neutral.

Forgiveness is Good.
Justice is Neutral.
Vengeance is Evil.

We all clear on that?

Thanks!

I'd only caught that she got the Salamanders to back down before.

In most common law systems provocation is a partial defence to murder (in USA this works differently, in that certain provocations downgrade murder to voluntary manslaughter), and a relevant sentencing factor in most lessor crimes. So while the law doesn't recognise it as completely absolving the behaviour, it does recognise it as a somewhat mitigating factor.

However, the law is often quite specific as to what provocation means in those circumstances, and it wouldn't apply in Hilgya's circumstances. It has been applied to battered wives who murder their husbands though.

(4) Some people think she was justified in her response due to the circumstances; other people disagree and say it was too far or had the wrong intent

I don't know how this thread got to 50 pages before, since the summary of it directly includes the question of whether or not Hilgya was morally justified, and as we all (should) know, we lock threads that stray in that direction.

Add in the fact that the last post in this version was pretty much nothing but a personal attack on another poster, and you've got a recipe for a locked thread.

Don't start a third version.
