See i think that's the core of our disagreement here.
No one 'wants' to be bad.. But everyone wants to be happy.
People have dreams and goals and needs that have to be met (be it something simple as hunger or more complex as emotional need and such). All this to ensure happiness.
The difference is that 'evil' and 'good' peeps handle it differently. A person who will put themselves and their happiness above the rest ends up being 'evil', a person who won't ends up being 'good'.
Will i sacrifice everybody if it means that i can remove the tadpole and live happily ever after, or will..not do that, lol.
Now obviouslly this is all very black and white, very simplified.. but you get the idea.



I was trying for less text to get same general idea across. cause I write enough in the other discussion between us.

but if being bad makes you feel good, which many evil creatures are, then your evil. Or just plain morbid, have a morbid streak.
good people feel bad when they do bad things, it's what makes them good.

again just roughly throwing it up there in short text do to walls of text of other posts.

D. They offer you a way to utilize a new power per C. by fully understanding what is going on. Your so bent on getting rid of this tadpole (a thing a good person would want to do, or one who is fanatically against mind flayers.) why if it's not turning you into a mindflayer, then it's a source of power. A source these leaders seem to understand, so you can use them to find out about it. Then of course they have to go once they are no longer useful.


I think the key to why I think evil Drow wouldn't necessarily go illithid route is here. To be given power by others in their culture is the same as being offended, just think about the way they treat Dryads. They are not only evil, they are very very prideful and would definitely hold a grudge to being kidnapped and infected by a parasite. From there its not a big leap to want to completely destroy the Absolute cult and make allies of convenience if I have to regardless of their alignment.


Very true but for most part drow are willing to work with illithid. Your drow is special do to recent events. Though sorta disagree with you on given power = offensive. Sense inheriently it is a matriarch and ruled by a Goddess who actively takes part at times. Goddess part may be a stretch on what causes offense. the other is simply someone has to give you some form of power. A Matron Mother raising you up from lowly latrine duty, because she sees something in you at that moment. A Matron mother allowing an recently unhoused drow weaponmaster into her own house. and a thousand other daily life for drow things.
