[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8935878, member: 27385"] I think it will be hard for Wizards to tell everyone what the 'good' thing is. They are saying one thing and moving in another direction. My group does not have any ambiguity in killing orc babies if the orcs are evil. If they came across a good set of orcs, they would likely act differently. When I write adventures, I generally only present situations and let the players decide how to act. My players tend to play good alignments and act a certain way, but I have been surprised on what I thought would happen is not what they chose. I would be ok if published adventures had some sort of objective outcome the author intended. I think the general outcome is listed someplace, like rescue the child or stop the giants from attacking the village. This usually involves killing the monsters, but an author may think differently. They can be a what if section for further adventures if something else happens, but this takes up page count and may not be needed. [/QUOTE]
