Message: <blockquote data-quote="AIM-54" data-source="post: 1677340" data-attributes="member: 15633">Most people have already hit it on the head.  SR is very different from D&D (and for that I love it! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ), so trying to use the same morality code is sort of counter-productive.  While it's possible to play honorable characters, it's not built for high heroism.  I disagree with those that simply declare all SR characters evil (although I won't argue that many campaigns tend to lean that way, at least by any 20th Century objective sense);  Runners are not inherently evil.  While they do occupy a state counter to the laws of the country (or whoever has jurisdiction), a key aspect of the setting is that those that make and enforce the law are, themselves, generally corrupt/evil and runners can be Robin Hoodesque out there sticking it to the man and trying to make some good out of a bad situation.But it tends to be played otherwise.  I'm just saying it's a possibility and, indeed, reading some of the stuff how the designers perhaps envisioned it.I wouldn't feel bad.  A friend of mine playing a phys-ad sniper once killed a sec guard with a gel round.  One gel round.  Scaled it from stun damage right up to deadly physical.In hindsight, he probably shouldn't have used ALL of his combat pool...</blockquote>
