Can't say I know what the Sword of Truth actually is. Is it worth reading? What's it about?
BTW, what exactly do you mean by 'opposite alignmen'? Lawful Good to Chaotic Evil seems straightforward enough, but what would something like True Neutral's opposite be? If used in the game I wouldn't like the sound of the -2hp to wielder against non-opposite aligned characters...

If we accept Lawful Good and Chaotic Evil to be opposite then does that mean that Neutral Good and Neutral Evil are opposite (surely their not they share their neutrality)?Originally posted by Callimar:

The Sword of Truth is a magical sword which will cut through anything and is extreamly devistating but only if the weilder of the sword see his target as wrong. The sword will not cut in anything that the weilder does not see as wrong. When a person is killed by the sword the sword inflicts exteam pian on the weilder unless he had a lot of rage and thought the target deservied it. I used the -2 hp to represent the pain that is inflicted. The novels are very good and are also really deep look into society while still keeping yu interested.

Well, it is straightforward, yes? Lawful-chaotic, good-evil. Nae problems there. Besides, if you read the alignment descriptions you'll see it says something about chaotic evil characters being 'the bane of all that is good and organised', and Lawful Good fits that bill, yeh?

The books are very good, although none of them reach the high level attained by the first book in the series "The Wizard's First Rule".
BTW @Red Inquisition... What about the a special function of the sword that acts only when it is used out of love - I can't think of an ability,but it is in the books.

Are you sure the book was not upside down

I would also recommend the Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth series.
This is one of the best series I ever read. Much suspense and twists and turns, while still imparting life's insights into human interaction effectively.

Yin and Yang balance. There is one within the other. No Difference in Reality. What do you experience?

In regards to the sword of truth; (if I remember correctly) its' true powers do not work unless one is the true seeker which a Wizard of the first order would recognize once certin critieria is met. In addition I believe it becomes more deadly in certain circumstnces.
Isn't one unable to use the sword effectively if the the wielder believes the target is the same alignment as themselves unless they find a way to turn the blade white? How would you incorporate these in the description Mr. Red Inquistion?

You know, when I think devestating, I think Vorpal for some reason
Make the Sword of Truth +3, and instead of that alignment damage, make it 20% chance to slay character of opposite alignment per hit. Also, make it not usuable by true neutral character and increase the speed to 3.
I hope this helps

I like the Terry Goodkind series of books as well and no I dont smoke crack. Different strokes for different folks...I also think Tolkien is the best, and will always be, however he aint coming out with any more books
, and Terry Goodkind is.
