If all involved parties have consented to the use of the love potion, then its use is a neutral act at worst. Why would it be used? Maybe two people are in a loveless relationship. Maybe they realize they'd be perfect for each other but there's no spark. Maybe they want to stay together for their children. Maybe it's an arranged marriage. Who cares? The important thing is they're not harming anyone but themselves, and they've chosen to inflict any such harm on themselves. So what's the problem?

If the drinker and the soon-to-be-beloved both consent to it, it's certainly non-Evil. If that occurs as part of some overall Good action, then I'd say it's a Good use. For example, actors who intend to earn money for charity through their performance want to be more convincing.

What an incredibly disingenuous argument, thanks for reminding me that this is /tg/. Insecticides and anti-bacterials are poisons being used EXACTLY as intended, just in low enough doses that they aren't also killing the humans using them. If your setting has love potions that coincidentally also cure acne if applied topically, that's great, but don't compare 'niche curious side effect' to 'exact same effect on a smaller scale'. You're an idiot, anon.

It totally is if the being in question is an extraplanar Evil creature. They're irredeemably Evil and they're also made of Evil. Slaying or neutralizing them will always be Good. The method of execution doesn't matter because there is no rational reason to be merciful to Devils and Demons. No one is obligated to spare pure Evil any form of suffering. All that matters is that Evil was smote.

Fuck you. It's exactly fair, and people who don't have the fortitude to accept the harm they do shouldn't be talking about "necessary evils". If you're unwilling to face the reality of your actions, if you have to pretend they weren't REALLY bad in order to sleep at night, then you are, by definition, unqualified to judge them.

If you've gotta kill somebody to make the world a better place, then by all means do it, but don't take pride in the killing, and don't pretend you can ignore what you did because you had a reason for it. Too many people have hard-ons for making "tough choices", and too few for decency.

Sure. I want them to actually be hard choices instead of "Muh greater good means I don't need to feel guilt". You're responsible for all the consequences of your actions, not just the ones you wanted. It's impossible to be perfectly good under that standard, obviously, but that doesn't make it acceptable to quit trying or to define your way out of any wrongdoing.

>>46925624
Not really sure where you're going with this. There are cases where one or the other is the more humane option - probably, I'd have asked Ozai which he'd prefer. But I like that Aang stood by his principles, there, even if I don't share them. And I also like that he didn't buy the argument that necessity has anything to do with morality.
>>
>>46926859
"Greater Good" isn't actually the intended purpose behind committing "necessary evils." That's simply a "ends justify the means" ideology.

A "neccesary" evil is one that cannot be done without. It's not optional. It's not something that ends up being slightly more good than bad in the grand scheme of things, it's something that needs to be done because the cost of not doing it would be disastrous.
Someone has to do it.

Why should anyone feel guilt for doing what needs to be done?
>>
>>46927133
>Why should anyone feel guilt for doing what needs to be done?

Because they still did it. Whatever harm it caused that force people to rationalize it as necessary was still done. You might not need to worry about whether or not you're a "bad person" or whatever, but you still owe sympathy and your best efforts at making amends to people who were hurt by your actions. My point is that necessity isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card for morality. It's just a valid reason why people might do bad things.

That's irrational guilt at that point. If you are feeling bad because circumstances made performing a superficially "bad" thing a necessity, you didn't really have any control over being forced to make that "decision."

If the choice is between "what must be done" and "not doing what must be done", that's hardly a decision to feel guilty about if you choose the former. It's nice to go through the motions and to feel that irrational guilt, since it's much better for someone to feel guilty when they shouldn't than to not feel guilty when they should, but there's no real need to try and conjure up some misattributed guilt just for the sake of feeling sympathy towards people who were hurt. You should feel that sympathy regardless of how irrationally guilty you might feel.

>>46927245
>any of that feyfuckery

>>
>>46927462
>If the choice is between "what must be done" and "not doing what must be done"

Okay, but my argument is that "what must be done" could be "bombing a village with some innocent people in it", and I think that's something you should feel guilt over even if it really was necessary. It's just that you shouldn't let that guilt stop you. Presumably, the guilt of failure to act would be greater still. Sometimes life sucks and you get put in an impossible situation like that, but you can't get rid of that problem by defining it away, any more than the redefinition of a planet destroyed Pluto.

The correct response to somebody saying, "You killed my family!" isn't "It was necessary, therefore it was a good act." It's "I'm sorry that was necessary." And, to be clear, the post I was responding to originally did literally say that it was good to commit a necessary evil.

Or, the short version - if you're going to judge people for their deeds, do that. If something's evil, and somebody does it, then that person did something evil, even if they ALSO did something good or necessary.

>>46927799
Apologies should not given out so lightly, especially formal ones.

If you were forced to kill someone's family, you are sorry that it had to be done, and not that you did it. The key distinction is that your action is blameless, and any reparations would formally come at the cost of those who pushed the situation to where it became a necessity. Anything from your own coffers would be charity.

Performing a necessary evil is good. It is necessary. The evil part is a bit of a misnomer, an unfortunate add-on to distinguish the act from all the other necessary actions a good person might have to do.

>>46919526
Well, if your setting has good-alignment, then it has evil-alignment. Presumably.

And if it has evil-alignment, then it has characters and actions which are inarguably evil. Presumably.

So, a good use for a love potion would be to prevent an evil character from taking an evil action that they otherwise would. Something like drugging up the demons so you can set them up for an ambush, rather than letting them sacrifice a town full of children.


Beyond that rather contrived situation, not really. Fucking over someone's head and taking over their choices is a pretty non-good action, overall.

>>46928163
Not the guy you're arguing with, but I also disagree. What you're describing is a school of thought known as consequentialism. It defines a moral act as one that ultimately results in a greater degree of good, even if the act itself would be considered immoral. However, the problem with this kind of rationalisation is that it relies entirely on hindsight. The good or evil of an act cannot be judged except by its consequences, which are often outside the control of the actor himself.

The traditional thought experiment for this school is the trolley problem. Everyone's heard of it at some point. A runaway trolley is barrelling down some train tracks towards 4 people who cannot get out of the way in time. You are standing next to a lever that could switch the trolley onto a different track, but there is a single person who would be hit instead. Is the correct choice to change the track so that only one person dies or to leave it and allow 4 people to die, but without any action from you?

Further, and bringing this back on topic, would changing the tracks be a necessary evil, given that it would explicitly result in less death than taking no action? This problem has been debated over since the late 60s and we're no closer to answering it now than we were then, so I'd be interested to hear your take.

Devising a means of intensifying the more benign effects (empathy, goodwill, protective instinct, lack of aggression), removing the negative effects (confusion, jealousy, obsession, impaired thinking), then aerosolizing the resulting product after reproducing it in great enough amounts to achieve complete global saturation.

Make sure to introduce enough doses that the new mindset stabilizes and normalizes. If all goes according to plan, you should be able to end the spectres of war and murder simply by ensuring that everyone loves everyone.

So after the whole SJW dragonspear "IM TRANS" incident recently. I decided I wanted to do a bit of writing to show how to better handle a 'trans' character.

>Elven (or dwarven) clans arrange a marriage of heirs, because they're allies and their wealth goes better together etc.
>This will only go through if the heirs both agree it
>Both families only end up producing children of the same gender (or no more heirs cause infertility etc).
>Both heirs were raised with the knowledge that it was important to their families. Seeing that it's not going to happen without some personal sacrifices - they decide to go forward with the marriage anyways
>For marriage to be considered 'viable' in local law, and heir has to be produced.
>[potion of gender swap] effect cost ranges from 500g to 2250g.

Works better if they're both boys, because one has to stay the other gender throughout the pregnancy.

>Ends up in a loving stable relationship

They decide to produce more heirs (maybe one goes back to birth gender and other decides to be pregnant this time).

And all of a sudden you have a better story about trans characters than whatever 'her' name is coming up and basically screaming at a stranger "IM TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS!"
>>
>>46919757
In truth the effect (for most humanoids) would only cost about 500gp

>>46919776
Any commoner with a single point in a profession or craft (even without considering it being a 'trained class skill') makes around 500g a year. More if it's a human commoner with profession / craft, +2 in int/wis and their free feat on skill focus (craft) or (profession), which jumps it up to about +8 to their role and severely increases their earnings.

Ugh, this reminds me of a weird thing my group's forever GM likes to do. Genderswapping and transformation. He doesn't detail it much, so I'm not sure that's actually his fetish or not, but it happens so often I would think it would be. Makes things way more complicated than they need to be.

Most recently, it was a dmpc bard elf who had that as a natural ability. He could just swap his gender whenever. Made for a weird marriage when he kept hitting on my centauress who herself was somewhat of a bard but also the party's only decent fighter (except the dmpc who was such a dex monkey and had so many magical items that he could do literally everything better than her).

Centauress kept rebuffing his advances gently, wanting to stay friends but he seemed to take that as a tease or something because she didn't outright say "hell no" to the idea of getting married. Was terrified to say outright say no because this elf dude was the heir to the continental kingdom of the elves and was a demon magnet, attracting increasingly complex shenanigans until we had to fight a fallen angel who was the mother/father (also genderswapping but usually stayed female whereas the elf usually stayed male) of all succubi and incubi. Just as well, I figured the centaur would probably not want to burn any bridges because the elf was largely responsible for a lot of her success.

The fallen angel uses her op-please-nerf corruption and mind powers to try and bed the elf to steal his soul. Doesn't work because the elf transforms into a girl before things happen.

Eventually time stream gets rewritten by a lich friend of the party's who fucked up his teleport and goes back in time. Fallen angel is powerful enough to know the change happened and so redos things as well to make herself married to the elf for many years before the centaur ever gets born. Elf is now the head of both the elf's continental kingdom and the most powerful regional human city with the fallen angel as his bride.

The Trolly problem is a more specifically Utilitarian (Consequentialism is an umbrella category to which Utilitarianism belongs) illustration, and in Utilitarianism, the morally correct option is the option that saves the most lives, not leaving the handle alone.

You both fail on a fundamental level.

That said, there are those people who believe that touching the lever makes you personally culpable whereas leaving it alone means it isn't your fault.

I am triggered that they used the word "and" in making the Acronym SLAUGHT, but ignored the words "which", "to", and "the".

That's lazy writing.

When a bunch of passive players get together it happens. However, the flip side is that once you actively take charge, most will fall into formation quickly as long as you act confidently. No one wants to hurt anyone else's feelings unless until it gets so grating and horrible that they snap. Luckily that game did not end with anyone snapping but the GM picked up on why we were reluctant to continue after the pixie got pregnant from paladium cat demon spirits and would die unless exorcised or unless she remained as a person-sized pixie for a while.

on a completly unrelated matter, what would be the Craft (Alchemy) Check for a succesful love-potion? 25? 30?

Help shy girls get laid.
>>
>>46945039
Easily in the 30+ range, considering that it's a DC 25 to produce an effect comparable to somewhere in between a level 0 and level 1 spell, and a love potion is likely the equivalent of a 3rd or 4th level spell.

A purely alchemical love potion would likely have a DC of 50 or even 60, considering that an "epic" 2d6 version of alchemist fire has a DC of 40.

Alcohol and non-threatening men?

or women

Use it on something with no emotions at all so it can learn to love, thus triggering a huge character arc where it ends up sacrificing itself to save the party.

It seems like most of the "good-aligned uses for a love potion" can be done easier and cheaper by just using alcohol.

Truly mankind's friend.

Is forcing something to >feel really a Good thing? Especially when many writers out there have deconstructed love as an inherently good emotion?

Shit, that's actually pretty good if the effect is temporary, especially if it can produce platonic love for those the individual is not sexually attracted to. That'd be so hard to keep some soldiers/peacekeepers (as in police equivalent) from abusing them though. You'd have to have like one guy trained for that whose job was to use it and who was vetted thoroughly.
>>
>>46959089
If I had no emotions, and was forced to feel, I think i'd be grateful for the chance to have a new experience.

Even if I hated them and I hated being forced to feel, i'd still enjoy the wonder of being able to do such things for at least a short time.

So if you were trapped in a dungeon by a tyrant while he works on his doomsday spell or whatever it would be an evil act for your party caster to mind control a guard into unlocking their door?

What, is nobody else running a game where the power of love is the most powerful thing in the multiverse?

I think the worse effect was not the few people who went mad and murdered everything including themselves, but the fact that the calming effect led to everyone essentially giving up and dying since they had no more purpose.

going from fantasy kitchen sink all myths are real to read bible to find the answers is a pretty big friggin change. to the point where goddamn hades polytheistic greek god of the underworld was around to guard christian artifacts. or where they go out of the way to say some angels can destroy planets (or was it solar systems) but somehow vampires were a thing that was a threat. Its less the change and more that a) the change was shit when taking into account everything there in the setting, and b) protaganist centered universe and morality all the damn time. I'd read the fuck out of a series that started out with a christian setting where they fuck up demons shit and all that, but you cant make the switch halfway in the series. also the writing is only ok, the main draw was always the crazy situations

Also nudging an ongoing quest towards there will get you deleted (and possibly banned).
