What I think would be great is if there was consistency. Right now, good align guards don't look for alternative ways to handle good aligned wanted PCs. Even if you walk into Darsylon after having killed a drow in Galadon, those elvish guards try to kill you without a moment's thought.

If you want the players to follow your take on good align, why not adjust game mechanics to encourage it and teach it? Why not have the elvish guards scold good aligned criminals rather than murder them? Why not have the good align merchants refuse to deal with criminals rather than attack them? Why not pursue your and Kastellyn's arguments to their logical conclusions inre to game mechanics? I read what you both say here, and then I run past those goodie guards in the Weald, and it doesn't add up.

Can you reconcile the behavior of guards with your responses to Isildur? Because I don't see how you can. Any justification you provide for guard's actions could just as easily apply to Outlanders/Ragers/et al.

FWIW.
