[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7413431, member: 23751"] That's not the sort of conflict he's talking about. He's talking about situations where things important to the character are put into conflict with other things in the game. In one game I was playing a ranger of Mielikki who was trying to become a multi-class ranger/cleric of Mielikki(in 2e). I had established him as having a hatred of slavers as they took away freedom from others and freedom was a critical issue for my character. At one point while scouting for the party, he encountered a small caravan of slavers and wiped out the slaver in surprise attack. He showed them no mercy, even when they surrendered. After it was done, he told the slaves to gather the weapons, money and food that was there and get as far away as possible as they would be killed if they were close by when this was discovered. Then he left them free to do as they wished and went back to the party. Later he found a grove sacred to Mielikki and went out to pray and dwell there for a while. After a few days he had a dream. In that dream I was in a large field where there was a group of slavers carrying slaves away towards a city. Across the field there was also a group of orcs surrounding a bound unicorn, about kill it. I had a choice. What do I do? THAT'S the sort of conflict he's talking about. The sort of conflict where the decision is tough and no matter which way it goes, you learn something about the character. [/QUOTE]
