[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 3608500, member: 8439"] Hey, I wouldn't be particularly comfortable with a DM who put a character in a situation of "watch evil done and do nothing or die without changing it". It doesn't sound like any fun unless (MAYBE) if I know its basicly a cut scene to start a quest. (cut scenes aren't a lot of fun either, imo). Someone else put the situation out there, I just responded to the allignment implications. As for the afformentioned paladin's heroism or not.... again with the Reasonable Humanoid. If the paladin says "I do (a) and I have to live with some guilt, or I do (b) and I don't live, nor does the girl, nor do any of the children she grew up with... ah, who cares, I wanna be a HERO!" .... no hero there I can see. Whether a player who has stated a clear desire for a heroic game has a legitamate beef against the DM who sticks this little scene in to begin with is another question, but the CHARACTER of Sir Chuhead Smitesalot is not acting out of Good at that point, IMO.
