Hey All,

I am really getting into the idea of using Animate Dead and Command Undead. My group is in the midst of fighting a vast undead army. My char is CN, he has high int and he is all about turning weaknesses into strengths and enemy strengths into weaknesses. Here's my question... Animate Dead has the (Evil) descriptor, this does NOT make it just an evil aligned spell, right? From my point of view, my character would look at animate dead as an efficient way to use the flesh and meat of already slain people for the benefit of those still living. He isn't taking over souls or taking over free-will, he's just using lumps of flesh to help him battle.

Am I totally wrong in this? Can only Evil aligned players use this spell?

If I'm not wrong, is there a specific rule that points this out somewhere? I don't want the problem player in my group whining about how I can't do it because I'm not evil, unless that really is the case.
