Don't you think they've sold their souls to whatever fiend already? If they die, they become demons/devils. Whooopie.But if you redeem them... then there maybe a god or two willing to help them to the right path. or maybe not. Better they die without a chance rather than have the Greater Good die, right?I guess we just don't see eye to eye here.Of course, as previously mentioned it's probably more safe to kill them. No, I'm not being faceteous. I'm just saying that a lot depends on how Force-user wants to run his game, concerning redemption of evil creatures. Some GMs give players that, others bite 'em in the back. 1) Okay.2) And he's supposed to immediately retaliate in kind, acting like every other fighter around. Okay.3) Strike for subdual (or punch). They'll be out for a few hours. Blindfold, gag and bind. It's not meta-gaming. How else do you deal with spell-casters? I mean besides killing them. Besides, its a monastery. I'm sure that the monks therein have an abundance of rope and cloth.4) False Dilemma. These are not the only two options available.5) IMO, there was a better way. He didn't take it. That does not deserve penalty but it doesn't deserve praise either in my book (which will differ from most GMs out there, I imagine). I award method as well as intention in my games.False Analogy. These kids were not innately evil. If they were innately evil, then they wouldn't need to be corrupted in the first place. Sheesh, kill a few villages and they call you innately evil already.

Or maybe not. But innately evil? Nope</blockquote>
