Nasgate posted:Did the Goblin actually attack you OP? If he fled without attacking, then he broke no law. And not all evil born creatures are evil. So unless he commited a crime and you could prove him evil it would be unjust to kill him. He did, but fled afterwards. If the priests can be love-in hippies, I think the pallys can let off some dumb vermin from time to time, right? Also, no dice with Moonglum. I'm not down with getting some weird from any white wolf.

I think most "Good" Alignment anything will or can have *Mercy as one of its principal traits. Well, maybe with the exception of super bullshit "Mercy leads to suffering" Zealot nonsense.

I never understood worshiping evil gods. If they're helping you, isn't that a good deed? Yeah, you're using their blessings to murder babies or whatevs, but they are performing an act of altruism by giving you power they otherwise could keep to themselves. Wouldn't it make more sense for Asmodeus to just give you the plague or turn you into a worm or something instead of helping you?

That's why Vecna was like "gently caress y'all, I'm gonna make my own goodhood. With hookers, and blackjack."

Zombie Squared posted:is it possible for a good aligned wizard to turn into a lich? The old school Lich was a bit of a self-made monster that you had to do all kinds of hosed up stuff to achieve, and even then there was a chance you screwed up and became a Maggot Lord or just poofed. So no, unless it was some horrible curse by a really Evil Diety with necromantic inclinations, a good aligned Wiz would likely never achieve Lichdom.

The Protagonist posted:It does though, that goblin will inevitably cycle back in and attempt and quite possibly succeed at shanking some new victim Though perhaps the near death experience will cause the goblin to see the error in his ways and settle down with a nice lady goblin in the countryside. Then again, if your gaming sessions are getting to the point that you're having these conversations instead of playing the loving game then you should probably stop playing or find another group.

Nah, the game is just a vehicle to get from one interesting, morally grey, discussion invoking decision/situation to the next. Otherwise you are just going through the motions. Roll those dice, move those tabs, scribble down incremental upgrades, rinse eat sleep repeat. Challenging the players, putting them into situations where they have to empathetically cogitate over their avatar's actions and then see the consequences is the core of the roleplay experience.

gently caress alignment bullshit. Play smart and capture the goblin, torture him for information, let him go and emotionally abuse and blackmail him and his family into providing your party resources for the rest of his miserable life.

I agree with that until it causes the game/story/collaborative storytelling experience/etc to stop progressing.

if you dont believe in good and evil you might as well be an internet atheist, which believes himself better than religious people and thei're "morality". go back to your reddit, and mine some bitcoisn to buy a fedora for your pony.

goblins are sentient beings capable of forming complex societies featuring literature, industrial processes and most forms of spellcasting, slaying one in retreat without at least offering the opportunity to surrender would be no different than doing the same to a fleeing tribal halfling or wood elf
