[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 3071070, member: 2011"] What if it were a rock or a submerged log instead of the Dwarf? It's one thing to step on the Dwarf if you feel him touching you and grabbing you, and hence you know he is alive. It's another to feel something, consider it might or might not be the Dwarf and he might or might not still be alive, and to step on it. That is a neutral act. Regardless of whether he is alive or not, and regardless of whether she considered this question or not, the fact remains that the Dwarf is already either dead or drowning. Saving yourself at the expense of a Dwarf who already apparently cannot get out might allow you to then retrieve the Dwarf a few moments later. Staying in the quicksand might not present those opportunities. Certain DND actions are absolutely good or evil. For example, casting an evil spell is always evil. Certain DND actions are relatively good or evil. Casting Magic Missile is evil, neutral, or good depending on who you are targeting and why you are doing it. If you have RAW DND alignment rules quotes that back up that [b]every[/b] DND action has absolute morality to it, please quote it. This is also a ridiculous standard to apply to DND and really does not help your POV. If people live next to a mountain with avalanches, they will either have their village protected from them, or they should not be living there in the first place. The term is "good", not "stupid". :lol: [/QUOTE]
