[QUOTE="Mark1733, post: 4761845, member: 83142"] Besides the typical "do we turn in the bad guy or just kill him" scenario, what have been some simple, yet excellent moral dilemmas DMs have given their PCs? My DM gave me one and then I gave it to my son who is 10 yrs old. I was playing a NG barbarian at the time; my son was playing a NG ranger. In both instances, our characters needed to hunt some food. The DM (me in the case of my son) says, "you spot a deer about 80 feet away. Just as you are about to let the arrow fly, a fawn walks out from a nearby bush and begins to suckle." My son got this really sad face on, and me and my other son started cracking up. In both cases, my son and I chose to have our characters relax their pull and pick off something else. Later, I remembered, we both cried watching[I] Bambi. [/I]I thanked my DM for giving me that one. Why my son chose to off the lowly groundhogs I gave him, though, I'll never know. [/QUOTE]
