[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 46978, member: 111"] I think that, oddly enough, a choatic - to - neutral good party would have more trouble with what to do with defeated opponents than LG. Why? Because they are closer to "pure" good" than LG who always feel bound by his lawful nature as well, and more easily declare himself the local law and deal with the captives as the law would do were they back in town. Anyway, the decision is a tough one, and the game is much more fun if they DON'T kill the defeated enemies for moral reasons. This makes it much tougher on the PCs, and that's usually a good thing. Heck, there's not much point in being "good" if you feel like you can just slaughter the bad guys - that's an awful lot like being a bad guy, isn't it? Usually, the ultimate goal for "good" is less to DEFEAT evil as it is to CONVERT evil over to the side of good whenever even remotely possible. Just as evil is always trying to get good characters over to the "dark side." [/QUOTE]
