Would it be evil to force all living skaven to suddenly feel

>skaven suddenly become empathic and compassionate
>skaven suddenly stop their backstabbing egomaniac spree
>old wolrd swarmed by billions of highly disciplined rat-men seeking to expand their country and bring the word of the Horned One to the poor uneducated masses

For contest, got a plot-device that utilizes warp-fuckery designed to do just this, used as a threat against the clans to keep them off of an objective.

Well, then they would explode. Literally explode. And you just turned a race of horrible rat people into a race of even more horrible EXPLODING rat people, Dwarf Fortress style.

So yea, pretty evil.

More importantly, would it make them pettable?

You know, forcing an amoral malevolent monster that has spent it's entire life torturing and murdering... to suddenly feel remorseful and recognize all the pain and suffering it has caused others... is probably a fate worse than death. You could make it really, really hate itself and hurt it more than any physical wound. The ultimate penance.

Might use this.

you mean like real rats?

No more evil than just killing them outright.

>>51803408
They stop backstabbing. lots of them commit suicide on the spot and their inocent children are the ones who inherit the world after a short period of rebuilding their civilization. their decendants asswipe everyone else in the setting and generally fix everyone else's problems.

Rats are adorable. Are there any fantasy ratfolk that behave like actual rats and aren't just Chaotic Evil dickbags?

The secret of nimh's rats.

Pathfinder's ratfolk.

The evolded rats from "In our shadow" webcomic.

Every. single. redwall. fanfic. ever.

It is just a matter of un cramming the bastards and on a generation you should have cooperative rats.

>>51803408
How are you suppose to do that?

>>51805549
Well I know there's a spell (or spell effect) that can change alignment. Just get a bunch of high level spellcasters... yeah there's no way it will work.

>>51805549

Stormcast Eternal miracles duh.

>>51805549
Convince a chaos god it would be funny?

Heck, they run off emotion. A few billion despairing ratmen? They might like that.

>>51804728

Guild wars skritt. They're adorable, but quite stupid.

If they suddently learned how to value life, they would be far more dangerous as now they would have incentitive to adopt tactics as modern as their weapons and you've got trench warfare versus early handgonnes.

Yeah but they're sort of a long-term investment now, bringing endless misery. They'd need to be pretty desperate to cash in that investment.

So Tau rats?

/thread.

That was over fast.

Good job /tg/

>>51812333
They'd have to be a chaos god that feeds more off of compassion than whatever ratmen are good for. I guess that'd be nurgle either way? Probably a wash, but you might convince him it's funny.
