Evil kill for learning
goodies do so. Evils kill dryads for personal gain. Goodies kill trolls for the same. Trolls are not agressive, they just live in forest they like. So killing them does not prevent more killing.

Evils PKill agressively
Goodies do so as well. Evil duergar might kill someone just because to get his money or something else. Goodies kill fire giant just because of his race. They did not see if he killed 'whatever', they just slew him because he is fire giant...still they are goodies in this case?

what's the difference between them then? why Marans considering themselves goodies if they just run and kill?

For all intents and purposes, you can consider fire giants, drow and duergar to be in the same class of being as the undead. That is to say they're categorically evil and everybody in Thera knows it.

Also, good-aligned characters are presumably not killing evil beings purely for personal gain. From an OOC perspective both groups kill to get XP. From an IC perspective good-aligned characters should be killing evil beings to prevent them harming innocents, to cleanse Thera of the creatures' taint, etc. etc.

This is a world where morals are objective and determined by the gods. If they say it's OK to murder every fire giant you see, it is. It might not be OK to do that in real life, if giants existed, but really, who cares? CF is a game and it's more fun this way.

I'm assuming this post is genuine and meant to troll here...

Well, why not roll a goodie that doesn't kill fire giants just because they're fire giants, trolls that don't attack anyone, etc? And then try getting other goodies to see things from that point of view?

But, in answer to your question...probably the reasons behind it. "If I don't kill this FG, he'll kill innocents and allies" versus "I hate you all and just want your money" kinda thing.

No, its just a philosophical question. But I've got answer I need on Dios

I mean, since we're talking about jumping on trolls... ;)
