[QUOTE="philosophers_stoned, post: 6936021, member: 6854589"] Regardless of what kind of mood the PCs and the DM set to a campaign, i think we should all acknowledge one fact: D&D at its core is violence oriented. Look at the abilities of any class. They are meant to kill another creature or escape damage from a creature that means to kill you. Each time you level up you become a more efficient killer because you gain abilities that mostly hurt/kill others. So, when you start playing D&D, the first thing you want to do is use your PC's abilities and most of them involve killing. It's like giving someone a remote control with a big red button: regardless of what you tell him he will want to press it at some point. I think you can create a campaign that is less violence oriented only if the DM and most of the PC agree to such a theme. You don't need mechanisms, like inspiration points, but concesus. [/QUOTE]
