[QUOTE="brehobit, post: 2148409, member: 12032"] I'd disagree with this. I'll go from a personal gaming story: Playing a Rolemaster game we had slowly been building up a group of enemies. Or more accurately, there were a group of evil clerics and minions planning on doing something really really bad to the world. In a previous game our leader, a paladin, had been killed by the baddies. In a later game the player of that PC (who is an outstanding roleplayer) played an evil cleric from the baddies. He claimed that we couldn't be successful in our current (side) quest without his help. Two of us (druid and illusionist) prefered to kill him out-right. The rogue (more of a fighter type really) and the mage felt our current task was too important. As the rogue was, in effect, the party leader we elected to work with the clearic. The Druid and I continued to object. We fought the baddy (a lich like thingy) and killed it with no apparent significant help from the evil cleric. The mage and the rogue then went exploring (just down the hall) with the evil cleric. The players went into a different room. We could hear that the cleric was coming first. We waited and took our best shot at him (which is hugely deadly in rolemaster). He survived, if just barely. The rogue was pissed (as was the player I think). The three players were all greatly surprised, as was the GM. Of course the rogue tied the gravely wounded cleric to a horse to take back. He died during the trip. I can safely say that the [COLOR=Green]players [/COLOR]were all greatly upset (well the druid and I were good with it). The group is very honest (never play Junta with them. Boring city). The player of the druid and I are fairly religous people as is her husband (the rogue). What was interesting is that I think we were all roleplaying our characters, but also we were making our own moral decisions. Each PC did what they thought was morally right. And each player did too.
