[QUOTE="BelXiror, post: 1034491, member: 13379"] One way to think about this that may help is basicilly, when an your character is killing someone, are they killing in combat, or in fact commiting murder? Thats may or may not make a difference, depending on the campaign, but it can be argued that only the forces of evil would think to use murder as a tool. I've watched various shows where there are characters that believe in killing evil, no matter what. This includes the act of murder, and despite the "good" intentions, etc, they have always rubbed me wrong. Of course, it could show a character sliding towards evil, after all, if they start seeing murder as an end to a means, that killing one person in cold blood can solve so many problems, the problems they may be willing to solve in this way may increase more and more. Instead of murdering to save thousands, they may start to murder to save hundreds... then tens, then one or two, or just themselves... after all, it may only be one hostage, whats the harm? It's just so much EASIER to kill them... [/QUOTE]
