Moral Relativism!!!!!!!!!Yeachhh..........Moral Relativism has been brought up!  When it boils down to it Moral Relativism is a self-contradictory philosophy.  Although many different cultures and religions have different ideas on what is acceptable, no human can really follow moral relativism.  Even atheists have a moral code, but see it as coming from some abstract ideal (what is good for humanity, society, etc.) rather than a deity.Case in point, if you go and mug some guy who claims to follow moral relativism he will undoubtfully be angry about taking his money (even if it was only a small amount that he could do without).  However moral relativism says that one can not pass any judgement on moral issues.  And being angry expresses judgement to the act, hence no one can follow moral relativism.Hence moral relativism is not appropriate for D&D (nor any person in general.)  I see D&D as being a "heroic game" in which morality is clearly defined.  If you want to have more gray areas, and have PCs that are dark heroes (or down right evil, in an evil campaign) that's fine too.</blockquote>
