It is merely a hypothetical situation which demonstrates the evil of committing such acts. You cannot justify murder because the victims are suffering from a deadly disease.

Oh, I would agree that both Aris and Benito come off very close to their Charisma scores. As for Sun Tzu, just because he was a great general does not mean all the actions he took are to be admired or emulated. The action you describe was evil, and unneccessary. True greatness comes only in...

I do not find your post silly. You bring up a good point. Providing comfort and care for the diseased and suffering strikes me as the truly good path here.

I see nothing wrong with what this character has done. It simply seems to be a matter of Chaos Vs. Law. Perhaps you prefer Lawful types in your campaign, but the fact of the matter is refusing to acknowledge authority is part of a Chaotic characters very being. Assuming this players character...

Free advice, tell your wife to get another job. It is probably too late now, but I figure I might as well warn you. New Mexico is the absolute worst state in America to live in. I would rather live in a foreign country than live in New Mexico. The only decent part of the state is the weather...

Perhaps Aris has a better track record because he lacks the courage and fortitude to take on the tough jobs and decisions. Aris is imminently unlikable, as well. He combines arrogance and self righteousness to a degree unseen in most Lawful Stupid Paladins. Benito is clearly better, but all...

Exactly. Considering the good Goblin, it should be clear that the stereotypes that exist in this world can be broken. Since the creatures are capable of good, and they have yet to commit evil actions of their own accord, killing them is an evil act. They are innocent. You do not have the...

If the Gnome really was misled as to the purpose of his employers, than he should feel a great deal of remorse and make a concious effort to change. Only if that was the case, and if the Gnome took that position, should a Lawful Good character forgive and forget.

Alright, I will admit that other people did and shall enjoy George R.R. Martins books. I should not have spoken for others. The bottom line, I suppose, is what Wippit Guud said when he started this topic. Who are the good guys? I want to have people to cheer for, and everyone in the books...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Wasting skill points on 'background' skills Voadam, your assumptions only hold true if the DM does not introduce situations into the game where skills are relevant. The fact that you think roleplaying is a substitute for social skills demonstrates you are playing in a game...

Well, again, my point of view on the subject is that if I want realism, or an accurate portrayal of the Dark Ages, I will pick up a history book. I do not see the reason to read a work of fiction because it is "realistic". It is sickening enough reading about the depravity humanity lowered...

With the current party makeup, giving the evil characters chance to excel in evil acts will rip the party apart. As soon as the good characters find out about the evil characters actions, they will end up throwing them out of the party, or fighting them. Unless your other three players choose...

Is Ranin a new PC? I loved "By remembering the deeds of dead drow."

Perhaps because in the D&D world, adventurers are far more effective than most armies. A group of 10th level characters could destroy a sizable force of men with little trouble, and once you get to 15+ entire legions can be eliminated with almost no risk to the adventurers. I doubt you will...

Gaming is a recreational activity. You do it to have fun. If you do not think you will have fun in this campaign, do not play it. Simple.

We do not have full details on the situation (and I doubt we will, since this is probably an ongoing conflict within the party), but it seems clear to me that the Gnome, at the very least, has decieved the party for a long time, been working against their interests, and indirectly caused the...

I am surprised the Undead did not finish Inga off. It should be interesting to see how the rest of this adventure plays out.

Gerhardt is the best. The BEST! :D He also has good ideas on how to obtain funding for the group. Hopefully they will come around sometime soon.

You should not stop writing this story. It is very well written, the characters have great depth, and the world seems very good as well. I simply do not care for this type of story, and that is in no way a fault of yours or your players characters. It is, as I said, reminscent of A Song Of...

Agreed. This is like reading a Song Of Ice And Fire, in many ways. Which is why I am done reading the thread. Great read, great writing, great characters, but not my type of story.
