>>In other words, can a current PC Philosopher claim a moral high ground, as long as they refrain from doing X, Y, and Z things?

I want to dissect that a bit more in lieu of a yes/no.

All Necromancers damage the Plane of Abiding with their acts.
All Necromancers have, and most continue to, interact with the Hunger in some capacity or another.
All Necromancers have, and most continue to, kill to explicitly perform rites that call in demonic forces.

Likely you hit all three bullet-points before 2nd circle.

That's not to say you can't claim the moral high ground. It was just animals, not people. I'm using the demonic power against the Hunger's plans. I'm only practicing magic because I need it to survive. When you get into the squishy bits of human morality and psychology, you get what I consider a major portion of what Philosopher RP and character building can explore. Can your PC, personally, claim the moral high ground?
