[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7917636, member: 6895991"] It does depend. Especially for paladins, and if you, like me as a dm, require a paladin player to play a paladin. Thankfully my Paladin player even some times does more than I require, and instantly notices any moral dilemmas. Other game systems are much harder: DSAs Rondra Cleric is required to never turn down a challenge and never retreat even if clearly against all odds and always fight fair, e.g. if the opponent fumbles and loses his weapon the Rondra Cleric would insist on him picking it up. We lately had a session where one NPC (much stronger than our Rondra cleric player and probably the whole group but that does not matter because the Rondra cleric would not accept help from the others in this case, as it would be unfair) did slit the throat of a bound helpless prisoner. This NPC was shady, but principally on our side and as such one of the major forces of "good". The Rondra cleric PC tried to challenge him for duel for that and just survived because the NPC simply ignored him and pushed him aside and escaped. That's a lawful good paladin like character turned up to eleven, most of them die soon, because of their code of honor being so strict. [/QUOTE]
