One should ONLY bring into question a player character&#8217;s alignment if an act is extreme to one end or the other of either senseless violence or large selfless charity. If you bring it up every time there is a disagreement over what &#8221;good&#8217; &#8216;neutral&#8217; or &#8216;evil&#8217; is, you will both never get anything done, and frustrate the entire table. Anything ambiguous should pass automatically for the sake of sanity. There is no point arguing the philosophy of committing violent revenge, stealing from slavers, or dropping a coin in a beggars hat.
