[QUOTE="Darklone, post: 1462130, member: 1372"] I would assume that the DM has a hard time to make his NPCs more than "walking XP-treasure or information gathering" devices. Or: The PCs often show a strange moral behaviour in my games. Common example (a problem which occured in several groups who played that adventure): the PCs defeat a pirate attack on the trading ship on which they booked passage. By law, the captain of their ship is the new owner of the pirates vessel... but my players (and many others as well) didn't think that's right. They somehow felt betrayed. One other group even killed the captain and his crew. And got stuck in the middle of an ocean without any idea how to steer a ship.... So I know three reasons why PCs kill random NPCs: - The NPCs are not played as "human" beings. - The PCs do metagame modern point of views about ownership and morale... though I guessed it would be the same by modern law... - The players actually want to play evil PCs.
