Slowly start charging money for these luxuries.
The goblins, now used to this better standard of living, will agree to work in my factory for money.
With my new invention, the assembly line, I will turn the kingdom into my merchant state.

A paladin wouldn't do that. In D&D it's a nongood act to aid your enemies when they are evil.

I really hate alignments. Your character could do nothing wrong, except maybe steal something once or twice without getting caught, have an evil alignment and people somehow know who you are because of that.

It's just like fallout and how people just know if your good or evil because of karma. Hate that garbage.
>>
>>51917153
No! Am future!
>>
>>51917153
If the only thing you've done wrong is steal something once or twice, there's a pretty good chance that your character is not evil(depending on what they stole and why, obviously). For that matter, most versions of D&D don't even have you detect as evil until you have at least a few HD, unless you're a cleric or the like.

I've often felt the best way to solve the goblin problem would be to convince them to swear fealty to the local king, in return for military aid against other goblins.

You clearly have no clue how alignment works.

Karma reflects how your character acts, if you go around shooting civilians and stealing you act like a raider.
>>
>>51916080
Pretty much this.

Goblins are vicious wicked bastards, that are also quite cowardly.

They will take any advantage, and turn on you in the slightest moment.
>>
>>51917709
I know that.

I'm talking about when your doing stuff behind people's backs or you do good things and not wanting recognition for it and people just know if your good or bad. If magic is involved I'm not happy with it but hey its magic.
>>
>>51917153
Your fault for playing an edition where they still have "detect alignment".
>>
>>51918033
Again, the karma system is supposed to reflect how your character behaves. Nobody magically knows if you stole, but the game figures if you steal a lot you'll just end up looking shady and shifty.
>>
>>51920274
And there is literally a radio station describing you doing heroic or psychotic shit. NPCs talk between themselves, rumours spread, and wireless communication/travelers are common. Karma just reflects that crudely in game, just how HPs relfect your character's physical wellbeing.

Goblins or NPC's?
Because honestly, that's a pretty nice reward if they gave you a comfort woman for taking care of the goblins.

So you imprisoned the Goblin King?

That works.

Wrong. In fact, helping an evil person find redemption is one of the most Good things you can do.

Am I seriously the only one who's read the Book of Exalted Deeds and the Book of Vile Darkness?

Depending on the game, but assuming we're talking about D&D, Goblins are not always evil.

>>51916589
Incorrect. It's an evil act to allow evil acts to be committed. Evil creatures are far more likely to do said acts, so it is often safer to smite and move on. But given time and the chance to do real good, by redemption, a paladin should do so. Barring any other pressing issues, like the end of the world, of course.
