I am curious as to everyone's stance with this in general RP, and with the Covenant. Do we accept those sorts of classes into our guilds because the players we associate with want to play them? Do we not accept them becuase they are evil? Do we accept then in RP terms because we see them as a necessary evil, sort of like a Path of the Scorched Heart from the World of Darkness?
As a paladin of the Light (Consadine), I am attempting to implement morals into his play. Like I mentioned before, doing the right thing, the right way, and for the right reasons. To be a healer for those striving for the light and for 'good'. It seems one would be hard pressed to ally with a warlock or deathknight for any reason.
Then again, it can all be just a means to and ends, right? _________________ May the Light bless and defend you.

Well, as for Lyssira, as a warrior and a follower of The Light, she does have a moral compass even though it might not be as well atuned as that of a paladin. Some of her behavior may be driven by pragmatism rather than by morality.
However, she also has certain events in her past that has given her a prejudicial distaste for warlocks. Because of this, in normal dealings she tends to steer clear of them.
In the end though, Darkstar never asked for her input concerning the makeup of the Convnant of Light so Lyssira will have to cope with his choices. And I suspect that Darkstaar is strongly motivated by pragmatism and very little, if at all, by any moral sense. _________________ "The fun of FIRPing is using your skills to enhance the RP experience of others." - Aquataine
Brenry doesn't really care, as long as the job gets done. While he doesn't like warlocks and DKs very much, he would rather use them than shun them. _________________ "I kill two dwarfs in da morning, I kill two dwarfs at night, I kill two dwarfs in the afternoon, and then I feel alright.

Aedrean is too young to fall into the trap of mistrust of anything. He knows only the rumors of the DK's and knows almost nothing about locks. Would probably pass them off as a mage anyway. _________________ Watch out, or I'll build a ladder wide enough for the centaurs to get up onto Thunder Bluff, and then beef will be for dinner.
Onaron is wary of those fel magic users as well, just because he's seen both his own people and the orcs become enslaved by trying to be the master. While he will not go out of his way to talk to warlocks, he'll more than likely give a good natured warlock the benefit of the doubt - though they'd be very close to losing his trust given any evidence to an evil nature. _________________ May the elements guide you.
This topic is still relevant. If any members want to, you can give us your thoughts on DKs and Warlocks. _________________ "I kill two dwarfs in da morning, I kill two dwarfs at night, I kill two dwarfs in the afternoon, and then I feel alright.

Interesting thoughts about class evils to those deathknights and warlocks. Hmm...well, I cannot say much for the rest of the populace, but as for Friar Clexus Tuck, he would help either of them. In fact, he healed a warlock recently that had "punished" himself by lashing his back for bringing a demon into the Cathedral of Light. Now, I know, odd enough that a warlock did the punishment to himself for bringing a demon in, but then to have a priest come up and heal him for his "crime" against the light, might be a bit odd.
In all honesty, Friar Tuck does not see his fellow man in such distinguished lights. All the Light's creatures, as he would say, live and are a part of this world. He values all those that live on this earth. Key words..."Live On This Earth". To specify that, undead are not alive, and demons are not from this earth (Azeroth). So, to those he might have a bit of a negative view. However, he has lived through so many years that he has learned to never judge a book by its cover.
In a nut shell, the Friar is a peacefull enough man to any creature or being that seeks or needs aid. And if he can give it to them, guide and nurture them in the ways of the Light, then he will.
