(Although it would seem not, given Negative Zero's description.)It could very well be a DM desperately trying to save a BBEG... or it could be just that, a warning. I wouldn't go storming off everytime the DM warns a player about the consequences of an action...I would at least wait until after the game and discus it with the DM and other players, so there is no misunderstandings in the future.I'll answer some of your questions, as I see these situations applied to my campaign. Note that I'm not pretending that this is superior, merely that this is how we do things IMC, which for clarity has nothing to do with Negative Zero's.Yes, it could be. Yes, it could be. Yes, it could be. Are we talking execution methods? or in the heat of battle? Doesn't it vary according to who you are fighting? Wild ravenous lycanthropes, or a samurai defending his lord's honour... Not every battle is one of life and death.As there is Evil in the world...You mean as opposed to incarceration, redemption, banishment, removal of facilities, ...No? But would your method change your decision? What if the only method available to you caused this person an incredible amount of anxiety and pain? What if this person showed incredible remorse for his actions that led you this drastic decision? What if being unconscious prevented the person from even stating their case? Would you be so willing to take the blood of another on your suppositions of their guilt? Yes, certain beings in the DnD multiverse are irredeemably Evil. These deserve no mercy whatsoever. However placing all BBEG in this category is less entertaining, IMHO.I think awakening him with the party at the ready hardly counts for being able to defend one's self... Sounds like the real mercy for a fallen foe... So much for the flower of Chivalry.</blockquote>
