[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9337220, member: 6790260"] When my characters can call the shots (or at least carry great sway)? No innocents and as few as possible of the guilty. Baiting others into attacking when they would not otherwise have done so is right out, for example. But taking on a quest to eliminate bandits who have waylaid or even murdered travellers and otherwise harmed the countryside? That's bringing merited punishment for wrongs done. And my characters still show remorse, even for slaying the guilty in situations when there was no other acceptable option. Because it is [I]always[/I] a tragedy to take a sapient life. Even killing in defense of another is a terrible thing. We strive to build a world where you can have Batman, not because a child was reforged by tragedy into a weapon against evil, but because someone set so good an example that even an ordinary person would [I]choose[/I] to be Batman, knowing how important it is to set that example for others.
