[QUOTE="Rel, post: 2149352, member: 99"] I meant what I said. You'll note that I didn't say you had to run your games that way. I don't always run games where the characters are out to do Good. Sometimes they're just in it for the pursuit of the characters personal agendas. But saving innocent lives, be it an individual, a family, a village, a kingdom or the world is serious business. Whatever gets the job done is fine by me. Interestingly, even with this lax interpretation of alignment, I can scarcely recall an incident of torture ever cropping up in our games. I think there have been occasional threats and there have certainly been an execution or three and a memorable branding. But virtually nothing in the way of torture. If a player began to have his character torture the bad guys for important information on a regular basis, I'd ask whether it was all "just for the common good" or whether the PC was starting to take any sense of satisfaction or pleasure in the suffering of these evil doers. If the answer was yes then I'd likely slide their alignment toward Evil. [/QUOTE]
