[QUOTE="Mishihari Lord, post: 2897207, member: 128"] As a player, I had a refomed assasin who refused to kill sentient beings. (Back in 2E) Animals, nonsentient monsters, and undead were fine, though. I had a lot of fun finding ways to achieve the party goals without killing. I optimized him for doing subdual damage so that he could knockout opponents instead. I did have some tension once with a character who kiled a bunch of orcs I KOed. Turns out it would have been better to let them live since we passed that way again and the orcs would have slowed down enemies who started pursuing us a few hours later. As a DM (again in 2E) I had an order or clerics who were forbidden to do violence except in self defense or to kill ever. In compensation they had a permenant sanctuary spell, and were very strong in healing and defense. They generally had no objection to others doing violence, as long as it was in the cause of good. They simply saw it as not their role. There were some individual clerics however who were distrustful of any who used violence. I had a few players try one of these clerics, and they seemed to have fun with them. [/QUOTE]
