[QUOTE="Sanackranib, post: 1049406, member: 8674"] consider this from a paladins viewpoint: if left alone could the creatures survive? you said no. if taken back to town could they be cured? in doing so would the PC"s and or townsfolk be exposing themselves? are kobolds inherently evil? if not can they be brought up in a "good" envoirment to achieve a good alignment too? they didn't surrender and it sounds to me like the rogue did choose the more mercyfull action and did his euthanasia in the most gentle manner possible. so I would rule no its no more "evil" then killing the adults was. D&D is a game where we must accept that killing isn't evil though "murder" is. so I guess it depends on how you as a DM view this act. was it "killing" or "murder". also how would leaving them alone to a slow but certin death have been classified. if I were playing the rogue I would suggest to the priest that he go to his church and have them spell out to him just what the churches official policy is so that party conflict could be avoided in the future as you will decide what the churches policy is you can adjust it to how it best suits your campaign. I hope that helps Buttercup. keep up the questions of morality, they make for a good debate but there really is no "Right" answer other then what you as the cleric's diety decide. ;) [/QUOTE]
