I am of the mind that some things are inherently evil. Undead can be created with the noblest of intentions but the act itself is still evil. Even undead who pursue good are still evil by their nature. An evil ruler can put together a comprehensive welfare and work program for his people. A good ruler does it because he seeks to do good things to improve his realm. The evil one does it because he recognizes it as a good way to pacify the populace and keep his ass on the throne. I could philosphise the shit out of this, but I won't waste your time. Alignment is sort of like magic rule-wise. Magic can be something that is learned through study, or it is something intrinsic to the creature. If alignment is merely behavior, then the helm would qualify as mind-affecting, and therefore have no affect on a dracolich. Unless you think it can change the nature of the beast, that would be the end of it. But, if you polymorph the shit out of a dragon, does it ever cease being a dragon by nature? Does that even make sense or is this just mental vomit?
Anywhoo, I think I can commit to a post a day if you will still have me. I understand if my lengthy absence makes me persona non grata around here.
