Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chimera" data-source="post: 1677140" data-attributes="member: 2002">This event took place in a game just over a year ago, but it recently came up in conversation.  Since there are so many "was this right?" threads floating around here, I thought I'd add another.I'm playing Shadowrun with several others.  My character, "Joe" (his pseudonym) is a Physical Adept (a sort of Monk/Psi-warrior with emphasis on physical talents, if you've never played Shadowrun).  He's the quiet guy who fights like a tiger.  Not entirely a good guy (no alignments).While the rest of the group might pull a gun on a guard and hope that he'll simply obey and keep silent, Joe once kicked a corporate lackey upside the head as a warning to shut up and do what he was told.Anyways, we were sent on a mission.  Travel from our home base in St. Paul down to Chicago, to hijack a truck of goods from our employer's rivals.  Not to take anywhere, just to make sure the goods vanished off the face of the Earth.  We get down to Chicago and find the truck.  We ambush the driver, who suffers an injury in the scuffle and is knocked to the ground.So now he's wounded, on the ground, with my character standing over him ("Joe" wasn't the one who wounded him, btw).  He orders his truck's defensive systems to kill us ("Sick 'em!").  Joe turns and strikes.Now, had I rolled average, I would have done a moderate wound, driving the man into serious wound territory.  However, with 9 attack dice and needing a 5 or better to hit (on d6, or 1/3 chance), I rolled _8_ hits and killed him.  The GM turns to me and says "you were striking to subdue, right?"Nope.  (Sorry, but I hadn't declared that I was and I won't retroactively metagame that one away.)So the GM describes how Joe basically rammed his foot through the man's chest and killed him.Question:  Did I _as a player_ do anything wrong?  Was my character EVIL to do this?I'll give some time for responses before I tell you how the GM and several other players reacted.</blockquote>
