[QUOTE="B9anders, post: 3278979, member: 40133"] I don't know about you, but our group ends up spending a significant amount of time discussing moral philosophy. An example, in a fairly high level wizards dragonlance campaign we are running, we are monitoring blode and the minotaurs in Silvanesti. This has gradually developed into political manipulation, using magic to fake skirmishes between the two to break up their alliance, feeding false information etc. I expressed my concerns that as a white robed wizard I was having trouble with the fact that we are engineering a war in which a population of ogres who have nothing to do with the ogre titans will get slaughtered just to weaken the minotaurs influence in eastern ansalon. The whole thing culminated when the plot threatened to crash down on us when a minotaur ambassador went for an emergency meeting in Blode and we ended up assasinating him and his guard en route before he could unravel our machinations - which the ogres of course are also being framed for. The rest of the group argues that both sides are fundamentally evil and it is better to have them fighting each other than us. I am asking for proof of the fundamental evil of peasant ogres living in their home country and also arguing that our methods of late are far to CIA-like, whom I have always identified as Lawful Evil. I guess the fundamental question is can you still have blood on your robes and claim they are really white underneath? [/QUOTE]
