[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 283779, member: 6239"] [b]Matter of Personality[/b] On the matter of the Paladin, if you saw a person who detected as evil, would you kill him? What if the person was a bitter old man who hated every one, but didn't do anything about it? He may be heartless, bitter and full of hate, but that doesn't mean he is some one you should kill. As for the matter of the rouge killing the helpless enemies, it depends on how the other characters feel. If I were playing that rouge, and most of the rest of the party didn't want me to kill them, I wouldn't. It is less a matter of alignment. I feel justified, and they don't like it. But I have to travel with these PCs, and I have deal with them after the combat is over. Out of game, I make choice not to make the game the disintigrate. Alignment is a question of philosophy, which can be a luxury on the trail. Party unity first, question of morality later. If it is matter of DM vs players, it only matters for align specific classes. In other cases, don't even bother writing it down, just let the DM decide later. In the case of Paladin, say that "your god shows displeasure with you". Barbarian, "you are losing that wild soul of yours to civilization." Monk, "you seem to be losing your focus" One way or another, the group deciedes. No players, means no game. No DM, same thing. I could cite moral philosophers like Kholberg, but I am sure no one cares. [/QUOTE]
