Message: <blockquote data-quote="Teflon Billy" data-source="post: 1047874" data-attributes="member: 264">As a player, this kind of behaviour from my fellow players drives me insane for a couple of reasons.1) D&D has a non-interpretive Alignment system. You can very easily codify whether something is evil or not.2) It makes Good-aligned players seem like the world's biggest saps. You were trying to kill this bugbear 20 min.s ago, why is his life so sacrosanct now? Alignment? He's evil.3) You say yourself that your character "released him to run back to his base and warn the creatures there" This is rank idiocy in the pursuit of Alignment focus. Why on earth would someone do this? 20 mins ago this Bugbear's life wasn't worth 2 cents to you, now you are willing to risk the lives of your entire party? What changed? He's unarmed? What if he had attacked the party with claws and fangs prior to his capture? Would you have been allowed to attack him?Good alignment shouldn't force people to behave in insane, counter-productive ways. This is one of the primary reasons I did away with alignemnt in my campaign.</blockquote>
