[QUOTE="guachi, post: 6482742, member: 6785802"] I'd play him like Pope Francis (the current Pope). If Pope Francis were 25, could wield a sword, and could cast spells. Or like the current Dalai Lama. Both those dudes seem like people who love life and love others and try to show it. They also don't seem to get too beat down by bad stuff that happens. To answer your questions - 1. Yes to surrender. At least, I'd accept surrender but offering it to every Orc, Goblin, and Kobold that came along - probably not. 2. Yes. 3. Yes. 4. Yes. Although killing a demon may actually be the merciful thing to release it from its evil torment. 5. Mind Control is probably wrong. I say probably because temporary magical mind control... might be good if it was to keep someone from harm. "These are not the droids you are looking for..." 6. Breaking and entering to save someone? Definitely. 7. Haggling. Sure. Haggling may even be a GOOD thing in a culture that expects it. 8. Giving alms. Absolutely. But it would likely be more often through the church of the paladin. 9. Assassination and poisoning. I'd say no 10.Lies and deceit. Acceptable. I can think of many instances where lies and deception aren't wrong. Were Han, Luke, Obi Wan Kenobi, and Chewbacca evil for conning their way into Princess Leia's prison cell? 11. Amoral murder hobos would be a hard bunch to game with. If leading by example failed and you still stuck around with them you're just being a dupe. Lead by example, but if the example doesn't work you'd likely have to part ways. [/QUOTE]
