Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hand of Evil" data-source="post: 6563511" data-attributes="member: 371">I have a soapbox...GMs should define evil in their games.  Just a quick list of things that are seen as evil acts, with a bit of explanation for it.  Most of this will come from the gods and will build a culture for the setting.  Why?  Because players will use modern moral values for a fantasy setting, which it does or may not apply.  Being a villainous character (or bad word here) does not make the character evil.    Examples of some evil acts - I would pick and choose them and let my players know:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cold Blooded Murder - killing just to be killing.  This does no include war or feuds or the killing of orcs.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Orcs - they are evil because they worship evils gods, do cold blooded murder and eat the playable races. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Not paying wereguilds - you do a crime, you explain yourself and pay for it.  </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cannibalism - eating the flesh of the playable races. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Slavery - This includes any mind control. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Breaking your Word - You shake or share blood or spit in your palm, this is a sealed deal, breaking it is an evil act.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Stealing a riding animal - does not include stealing from a herd (coming of age), this is taking a persons riding animal. </li> </ul></blockquote>
