[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8029960, member: 6701124"] Except the chasing wouldn't have worked.. And tossing the hammer wouldn't have injured them. It's not a normal person tossing the hammer in our world. The character is a fantasy world hammer expert, judged it (e.g. the player checked with the GM), and thought it was a sure thing not to injure the child... ... and the kid got a shot at an apprenticeship and saved from a life (and possibly death) of theft. In that world, the hammer throw was safe for that character to make. Even if it wasn't, and the GM hadn't confirmed and merely said "do you think it is?", then if the character honestly believed it was a safe thing to do then it would call the characters judgement of their skills and physics into question... but I don't see how it raises a question about their morality. Presumably jumping off a building with a child would also be something that could seriously injure or kill a child. Or walking through a fire with the child could seriously injure or kill them. Or throwing a hammer at a their legs could seriously injure or kill a child. Except you know feather fall. Except you have a potion of fire resistance. Except you're apparently as good with the hammer as Captain America is with his shield. Because it's not our world. [/QUOTE]
