Shattered Kingdoms

Certain classes have spells that allow them to do one of two things, detect the aura: light/grey/dark (good/nuetral/evil if you will) and / or detect the specific alignment of a NPC.

Giel, in that case, disregard anything and everything people have said about alignments. If you can't check for it, no need to worry about it. That mostly applies to priests and paladins.

Oh, and for the record - zakami are foxes.

Thanks Goldlantern, I'm happy I'm not inadvertently undermining my character through some software means. I'm still curious on how to determine this, as I want to roleplay being nice also.

My character is a sprite with three starting magic spells, is there a way I can pick up more? Specifically the detect aura spell?

If you are not a priest or a pally there is not a way to aquire the spell. But there are other methods of obtaining the affects of the spell. At this stage in the game, You will be fine. If someone who does have access to the spell and sees you killed a NPC of the same aura as you, they will most likely start some RP with you and you should be able to RP a reason of why you were doing it. Then you will know about those NPCs and not do it again.

Sorcs also get detect aura. And necros actually.

Let me re-phrase

If you do not play a class that has the detect aura spell then you cannot aquire it.

Thanks everyone!

Just use common sense when leveling. If something looks evil, it probably is. Kill monsters.

If you're trying to RP a good guy, slaughtering halfling children would not be the way to go, nor would killing everyone in small, peaceful fishing villages.

If you must know, try contacting a good priest or paladin to give you advice about where you might find evil to smite.

thats actually great advice. If you are a good alignment and looking to train, tell someone who has a lighty title when you type who (Seer of Truth, pinical of Justice, avatar of the Light, etc).

Be all, "where should one go to smite evil stuffs as an apprentice swashbuckler?"

they'll be all, "Yo, in the outpost of Ayamao, ya heard?"

"True dat holms, grassy asses. Where is that hood B?"

"Just cryp north of Sith dog, dig?"

"Word to your moms"

(... no, I dont know how that all degenerated into hoodspeak, but you get the drift.)

As a crusader, I could justify attacking halflings.
