But 'evil' is that which is morally bad or wrong. And if your actions are judged by your society as correct, aren't you, in fact, good?

Quote
Hmmm... We ARE All Evil. We All Behave In A Mutually Agreed-Upon Fashion Of Murder, Torture, Deceit And So Forth. Our Uniform Acceptance Of This Heinous Credo Creates An Orderly And Cooperative Society. Which Hardly Seems Evil. Evil Is Doing Things That Make Others Hurt Or Fear. We ALL Do That, Of Course. But Since We ALL Do Such Things, As Sanctioned By Our Culture, It Would Be `Bad' To Do Otherwise. Which Means... Er... Puny Hu-Man, Do Not Play With Words! You Anger Both Dogar And Kazon! Now You Must Die!

Loki has solidified even further his position as my favorite background character.

Spoiler: Revelation (click to show/hide)

I wonder what happened to that one dwarf who died of mummy rot that they got from defending an orphanage? Did Loki get them too?

Loki is traditionally depicted as male, but given that he's a shapeshifter, he could become either.

He tends to go for both ends of the spectrum in ancient legends depending on what mood he is, but he usually settles on male.

Gelatinous Cube races. That is so wrong.

Also, looking at the Gelatinous Cube in the SRD, how dense are these things supposed to be? They're a 10-foot cube, and weigh 15,000 pounds. Looking that up with a calculator for kilogram-per-cubic-meter, this gelatin is more dense than platinum(>24000 kg/m³ for the gelatin, 21450 for platinum).

Think you screwed up a conversion factor. Converted into metric, a gelacube is ~28 cubic meters with a mass of ~6804 kilograms. With those inputs, your calculator produces a density of 243 kg/m³. Since the calculator gives the option, we can also try the unconverted US units. Putting 15,000 pounds and 1000 cubic feet into that calculator results in a density of 240.27734595704 kg/m³

I wondered how the heck they'd be able to breathe while riding inside the gelatinous cube.

As for the density, what options did you use and numbers did you input? I put volume at 3.048 (which is 10 cubic feet) and weight at 15000 (the calculator doesn't like commas for some reason), and got a density of 4921.2598425197 kg/m3

edit: Ninjad doubleedit: Wait, Lord Shonus's number is different from mine. EDIT!: I put in KILOS, not pounds! or rather I set it to kilos rather than pounds *goes off to another calculator to convert pounds to kilos)

Okay, recalculated, 15k pounds is  6 803.885 55 kilos, gonna round that up though.... New density is 2232.2834645669

Ahh, the kind of Chaotic Neutral where you don't mind setting some buildings on fire, so long as you don't make a habit of it. ;P

Also I think the cubes are supposed to be 10 feet cubed, rather than 10 cubic feet.

Putting in 6804 kilos and 10 cubic square feet has a density output of 15000/lb3, which is not as dense as tungsten, but you may as well be sitting inside a rock.

As for the wierd density, I suspect that someone simply threw some numbers in there without checking if they made sense. Making them 1,500 pounds rather than 15k makes them have a density of 150.0, denser than air, but you probably wouldn't float in it.
