[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5821304, member: 9037"] Back in the days of 3.0 we had a long running Kalamar game. It is my favorite published setting. I remember the paladin of our party wondering how to deal with the slave situation luckily he had studied roman history and was able to use that as a guide instead of the looking at the way slaves were treated in her America. Though there was an issue that arouse at the table between my character and funnily enough with one of the guys I had an issue with Sunday. I was playing a knight and retired legion commander loyal to Kabori his sister was my mother. The party was sent to rescue the young heir to the throne of Basir. In the fighting a fire broke out and I chose to save this young heir over saving some commoner children . The commoner children were in immediate danger but there was no guarantee that I could get back in time to save the heir. And I didn't trust the rest of the party who were a bunch of hired adventurers and commoners themselves to put the young heir's life first. I was playing my character with the medieval mindset that royalty are more important than commoners that basically their lives are worth more. This is not how I feel in real life but it is how it is written in many fantasy stories. The one player kept arguing that I had committed an evil act by letting the commoner children die to save one child. My character was very remorseful and sad over their deaths but she felt that she had done the right thing. We argued about it in character for weeks. And he never trusted me and made no bones about it. It was some interesting times. [/QUOTE]
