[QUOTE="drjones, post: 6383100, member: 62944"] Utter BS, there is no political correctness in thinking about the morality in the fantasy world you are playing a RPG in. In fact it's one of the interesting things about it. If we wanted to play just kill :):):):) and who cares there are plenty of board games that would do a better job. Why does one character kill the goblin women and children and another one doesn't? Because moral questions are interesting drama 101. It's not just a game, it's a game where you make up a story that's worth taking part in. In this case it's an interesting question, some characters might want to try to capture and domesticate a young monster or just leave them alone as part of the natural world. Others might not. Being able to role-play both convincingly is a sign that you are winning D&D I suppose. If you want to play the game as just kill everyone you meet for XP and take their stuff and your group agrees that's great but making a stink at other people for doing it differently is a dick move.
