[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 2807008, member: 707"] I tend to work from a modern moral standpoint, then soften up certain aspects of it to get the feel I want. So things such as gender equality remain untouched and modern, despite the time period of the setting. This may be due to the fact that every long-term campaign I have ever been a part of has included women, and I see no reason to impose sexist elements on them for the sake of some kind of pseudo-realism. It may be due to the fact that I find such a concept repulsive and wouldn't enjoy RPing such NPCs, too. I couldn't say. On the other hand, killing in general becomes much more medieval. I don't want my PCs to constantly fret over killing the bad guys, when 90% of D&D is about killing bad guys. :p So I loosen up this moral sensibility, which is rather strict in our own time but was far from it in the time periods we play in.
