> What I'm saying is, why is aura the ultimate definition of whether or not Maran go after someone? You're forgetting two big things here...the first is that Marans are not only out to stomp a hole in anything evil, but also to protect anything of the Light....even those misguided Arbiters that kill Lightwalkers for attacking Darkhearts....now if there's an Arbie or any lightwalker that starts killing other goods for no good reason...well, typically that's when I get a pray like so: Maran is praying: Shokai, please bring your wrath upon this one...though he walks in Light he is surely as tainted as...something *REALLY* tainted. As an example of this, I'll point you to the case of Feirshay (if you don't know what I'm talking about...do a search, since I explained to him what had happened somewhere on the forum). as for the second, Arbiters are very hard for a goodie to play and remain good...it's a harder challenge that it seems to be from the outside. Pretty much any cabal that has a mixture of goods and evils in it...the goods (as I've stated somewhere else) have the burden of keeping 'pure'. Arbiters though, well..*shrug* there is a reason you'll never see an Arbiter with Shok's tattoo. Would depend on the situation, and wheter or not the Maran had sought my council on the matter beforehand. Case by case scenario...I suppose. "Confidence, coicidence,
> Say there's a good aligned Arbiter. And he loooves killing Lightie criminals. Is the Maran going to be able to interfere to help that self-defending lightwalker? I've yet to meet a Maran that will, in fact, the Maran will run away because "they're a lightwalker".
> Would you smack a Maran down for killing a goodie who acts like a neutral/evil (i.e. kills other goods for whatever reason, etc)
called innocent,
it's just like people say.
