Message: <blockquote data-quote="sckeener" data-source="post: 3048938" data-attributes="member: 8801">Do you put your hero players in situations where there are moral choices?  Such as having to kill innocents to save lives or what to do with the orc babies after killing their parents or what to do with their own babies from the local wench?Exactly. I think more people play heroic [non-evil] games but never have any moral issues really come up or at least nothing that is traumatic.  I use to be considered a killer DM, but now I am just a mean DM.  I think it is because I go for the pain before the kill now.  To quote BtVS D'Hoffryn: Haven't I taught you anything, Anya? Never go for the kill when you can go for the painPersonally my favorite type of evil is the type that is normal for everything (LG) except for one small (CE) POV such as viewing X as human and Y as not human.  Religious Zealots are perfect for this role.  The whole kill’em all and let god sort them out mentality.  Of course I had a fun time in Dark Sun playing a halfling ranger with humans as his favorite enemy. The party was all elves with one half-giant and thri-kreen.  I don’t even think I was evil in that game….Dark Sun is nice that way and it was 2nd edition.  It was fun eating humans and sharing with the Thri-kreen.    My halfling blamed humans for all the ills in the world.  Hard to say he was evil after all the Halfling’s in Dark Sun ate sentient beings and I only ate the ones I fought.Then there was my anti-paladin who had wives and kids.  He had to defend them against all the heroes of the world that would try to kill them just for existing.  They were all monsters as far as the heroes were concerned.  He was evil because he expected the heroes to see how good he was, but he didn’t return the favor.</blockquote>
