[QUOTE="lastalas, post: 2777459, member: 39207"] My favorite is the "Would you kill Hitler?" dilemna. The PCs receive information that a particular NPC is on the path leading others towards destruction. Maybe he has an artifact that the PCs know will eventually raise an evil god, but he doesn't believe the PCs. Do the PCs kill him to stop him? Do they try to reason with him? Do they tell the King, who has his own motives (maybe he wants to squash the rebellion this guys is leading)? Or, maybe the bad guy has a powerful sentient EVIL weapon, and when the PCs kill the bad guy the weapon promises them power and fortune. Do they follow? What if they are sent to assinate a brutal king who is a wicked and evil man, but his people are just honest guys trying to save their families and are between a rock and a hard place? Are they willing to cut through hordes of decent individuals to get to the king? What if the grown-up child of one of the people they killed becomes a lawman, and hunts them down for murdering his father? Do they kill the good guy who is hunting them? [/QUOTE]
