[QUOTE="sellars, post: 1676540, member: 7268"] Wow! I had no idea that people would react so heated in a discussion like this. I remember a fair amount of discussions (for instance the paladin thread in which he was taken away his powers). So I thought that this would make a nice dicussion. Sorry if it didn't. If it helps, I don't usually play evil characters, since this is my first one. In another campaign I play a CG character, and the guy playing the bard plays a character with clear evil tendencies. In our groups this (usually) works, and leads to interesting discussion, both in character as out character. It is not about playing an evil campaign, or playing it "gritty", we have the 8 'o clock news for that. It is about putting yourself in moral dillemmas and debating about that. Call it a thought experiment, things philosophers have been toying with for centuries. I understand that that is not everybody's cup of tea, but there should be no hard feelings in the discussion. This thread wasn't created to glorify violence or evil, quite on the contrary. It was intended to discuss the consequences of violence. In our campaign violence, (not only killing people/creatures) has consequences. Telling in pretty words that you spill a foe's guts on the floor isn't going to make the act anymore better. And in our "gritty" campaign there is almost NO killing being done. Only when it is absolutely neccessary. Again, that is a different style of playing, but please don't get angry at other people for their style. I'm sorry if I have offended anyone. Peace, Roel [/QUOTE]
