[QUOTE="Bront, post: 2807628, member: 19696"] I never liked judging PCs based on a single moral choice. Very few actions are so immediately evil (or good, or chaotic, or lawful), that they alone will impact your allignment or view. And there are many that are along the lines of a more middle ground, and often, a consistant belief and acting upon it can be quite moral, or even changing what your character thought was moral because he learned something new. This system is interesting, and has some merits, but many of the morality challenges are not moral as much as how others view you (Particularly the Mayor vs the 2 little kids one). Let's revisit the baby example with the Paladin. Paladin finds 3 orc infants, and decides to slay them, since he and his order have taught that orcs are evil with no redemption. Later, this same Paladin is left for dead by bandits and saved by an Orc. Is this Orc evil? Is his order and all he has been taught wrong? That's a moral delema to me. A bit oversimplified, but still. [/QUOTE]
