[QUOTE="Snoweel, post: 664455, member: 4453"] As much as I hate to rankle my fellow users, the above comment is just petty. You admit that morality from culture to culture is relative, but then deny anybody the right to conform to the morality of their culture. WTF?!?!? How are the PC's in your campaign supposed to react???? While I concede that morality is a construct, any two individuals who intend to establish a relationship must agree on a protocol of values or they may as well be communicating in different languages. So if those who spent their formative years growing up in the Judeo-Christian world decide that it's easier (and just as valid) to define their heroes and villains by the morality that is ingrained into their subconscious, why should you 'bristle'? Just because you're 'enlightened' enough to have embraced another morality (whereby, like [b]all[/b] moralities, you arbitrarily allocate 'horns' to villains of your own choosing) doesn't mean that anbody else's villains are more or less valid than your own. D&D is about 'good guys' fighting 'bad guys'. [b]Nobody[/b] is the sole arbiter of who wears those hats. Not even you. [/QUOTE]
