[QUOTE="Ixal, post: 8509088, member: 7030132"] Why are you actually surprised by that? The character in question was an assassin who murdered people for his organisation and got contacted by said organisation to murder someone. Why would you expect this character to not do it? It seems to be that is more of an issue of you expecting the player to follow his own morality instead the morality of his character. And imo that is a big problem in todays environment. Some people bring their personal morality into the game and assume that everything a character does in the game is also what the player of said character believes in, while other players completely divorce their morality from the one of their character. And when you bring both people into the same group and player 2 lets his character do something evil then player 1 is shocked which can lead to problems between the players. See the recent decision from Paizo to curtail slavery and especially the ability to buy slaves because some players freaked out when other players had their characters be slave owners. [/QUOTE]
