Some comments though (all of which are simply opinion):- In terms of good and evil, the spells a sorceress has up their sleeve says a lot about who they are as a person (much more so than a wizard). The fact that your PC did not have peaceful arcance alternatives perhaps represents her view on how to deal with situations.- While your PC had a little room to move, the paladin most likely did not while the exalted druid would have had even less. An exalted character given several options must always choose the "goodest" one. In this situation, the exalted druid could not have done something bad (killing people) in trying to do the greater good. The Book of Exalted Deeds is quite explicit on this.- As for your character's situation, a good character trying to do a good act would not have gone the fireball option. [As I said before, the fact that your character did not have other options reflects on the character]. A neutral character trying to do good would have done as she did, delay and warn but in the end, go through with the act if met with resistance. In the end though, it was obviously not a good act. An evil character simply would have blasted away, possibly delaying before doing so. However, with an evil character, there would have been no element of remorse.- In the end, with the fireball having killed, I guess the only option for a good or exalted character trying to do the most good would have funded the reincarnation/raising of the killed captain and crew. An expensive exercise. However, note that realistically in a generic campaign, only certain paladins or exalted characters would have gone to these lengths.In the end, your character did not have too many options at hand. Your PC certainly did not do the best thing possible, but nor did she do the worst.Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
