[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7814886, member: 6795602"] [B]There are two moral questions the situation brings up: 1. What is the moral thing to do in a situation where it's nearly certainly going to be either you and another dies or just the other dies. [/B] In this case the moral thing to do is for you to choose to live. [B]2. What is the moral thing to do in a situation where someone demands you choose to either give them the other person to kill or he will kill you both? [/B] You probe the situation to see if there are other options first. After the probing if you realize that you are in situation 1 or if the situation becomes situation 1 then you know what to do. If you find another option that might save you both then you try that option. [B]There are also a number of gaming philosophy questions the scenario brings up A. Should the DM who controls both what encounters you face and the nature of said opponents force a a situation like 1 above. What about 2. [/B] It seems to me that 1 is off limits entirely. 2 is an interesting situation that I can see being played out in the game. [B]B. Is it the DM's fault if he places potential no-win situations in the world and the players charge headfirst into them even though they could have avoided them. [/B] I don't think so. That's on the players.. [/QUOTE]
