where sam insists Assassins are Evil period. because it says so (check it PHB 3.5 under "detect evil").
My reply to Sam is that experienced DMs have their own views on such matters, and rules are not sancrosanct. Much depends on the logic of your campaign. If, as a DM you wish to change the effects of the Detect Evil spell or rule that an assassin is 'Aberrant' rather than Evil, then its your priviledge to do so.
As I've stated before, its a well used convention (though not part of the rules) that Detect Evil only shows up strong high level or pure evil. An assassin may for example be in other ways a decent man 'see the film "the unforgiven" '.
Hmmm.... how to explain to my wife that when I said her mother was Evil .... I really meant Aberrant.
