That's how I tend to see things.None taken though it is an incorrect conclusion as to my history and the fuller details of my specific characters.What is interesting in my current character is that she is one of the few in the group who usually advocates the path of not getting involved in a conflict, but also one of the few who, once that conflict is underway has the -guts- to see it through to the -nessessary- end (as she defines it).Eventually, she will probably challenge one of the others on this. If they question her next time she goes to kill a captured foe, she will simply point out that we would not have this foe if they hadn't put us in the situation to begin with. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />If you asked her about Heroes, she would probably say something like:Heroes and Villains seek out and create conflicts, the rest of us are left to deal with them.However, that's all a specific case, rather than a general addressing of the issue on dealing lethally with captured prisoners in your typical fantasy roleplay conflict.I could draw out the same conclusions with a heroicly molded character. Largely because as I see it, there is an inconsistancy in the -during conflict- and -post conflict- ethics. To resolve that inconsistancy one or the other has to be adjusted. Adjusting the -during conflict- would from my frame of view, usually result in characters who simply cannot morally justify their participation in the conflict. So I've adjusted the other end to match it's counter.</blockquote>
