Leyrann Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Would he implode? Explode? Refuse to believe you? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantus Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Probably laugh and refuse to believe you. If pressed I could even see him making an argument that he cannot, by definition, be 'Evil'. His measure of this abstract and undefined concept of "evil" seems to be whether a person can hold Him, so he's Immune to the test by definition. On a more philosophically meta level, I think I would agree with him. He's doesnt seem to have enough independent Drive and/or Agency to really be Evil. He's Destructive as all getout, but Evil implies a more specific motivation to my mind and he's basically just along for the ride wherever his is. He's Dangerous, Destructive, and a touch Chaotic, but he's still acting as a tool to execute his wielder's interpretation of his Command, no more or less. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totally_Not_A_Worldhopper Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 He wouldn't believe you, I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goody153 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 I think Vivenna already told or indirectly let Nightblood know he was evil. He didn't react negatively, he wasn't even hurt when Vivenna didn't seem to like him but the blade likes her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totally_Not_A_Worldhopper Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 @goody153 is right. When she carries Nightblood briefly near the end of the book, Vivenna says something to Nightblood that implies (strongly) that he's evil and he says something like "I'm not evil. I destroy evil". So, he wouldn't believe you but also wouldn't really care. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beantheboy12 Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 I think that he either wouldn't believe you, or go silent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripheus23 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 He'd say, "I'm Chaotic Neutral." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormblessedSurvivor Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I'd say he would think he's more Chaotic Good, seeing as he destroys evil (at least how he perceives it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct, it should also be noted that he doesn't react poorly, he just informs her that he isn't evil in the same way you would tell a small child not to touch something hot if they do not want to be burned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you do a mental about-face and start thinking about doing the sorts of things that Nightblood 'knows' are evil (ie, you fail the Nightblood Test even though you must have previously passed it) he's not going to make you go murder-crazy just because you've made an idiotic statement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Nightblood was thrown in the bay, he was able to get Chapps to fish him out, row him to shore and got into a building, presumably while talking with him. Then he went blood-bath mode on a group, including Chapps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
