First time playing a paladin (PF) and we get to a set where someone is offering to help us enter a fortress by making us flesh golems. All of that, didn’t have a problem with it. But, ya see, the person making the golem was a doctor and they were “recycling” lost patients into the golem.
Paladin couldn’t have that. “A surgeon must never have an ulterior motive when helping others. They might hesitate at a critical moment”
So, after a brainstorming session, we instead went to the countryside to massacre a minotaur village for the materials. Yay good alignment! (Minotaurs are evil, obvs)
The rogue who realizes all three of them have a symbiotic relationship is there to pick the pockets of the dead before they’re reanimated
Help, I’m in both panels and Im deeply uncomfortable.
Source on the anime?
Pretty sure it’s Gundam: Witch from Mercury
Don’t know who down voted you, that’s the answer lol
Many thanks!
I will say that D&D is a game with some disturbing assumptions smuggled into its “objective” morality.
Eh, DnD morality is just fundamentally broken at a conceptual level, and people have known that since forever. Every GM basically overlays their own opinions on what good/evil/lawful/chaotic mean, and there’s no consistency from table to table.
True but I do feel like the issue described in the meme is one that I’ve rarely seen questioned. Ultimately, D&D was designed to be a game about murdering the bad guys, and while you can play a different type of campaign if you really want to, it would be a bit like using your mattress as a raft.
So for me as someone who is fairly committed to nonviolence outside the game, it’s just too difficult to run a campaign that really shakes the foundations in this way.
I played a campaign where the entire thing was a murder mystery dinner and the only actual combat was a hunting scenario as part of the wedding party events and the final confrontation with the murderer, which only went hot because all our characters sucked at being detectives and the perp was talking circles around us. If any of us had thought to read “Sounding like a competent detective in a pinch for dummies” we could have beat that camp with zero actual murder hoboing!
How many families did the latter use to make that farming easier for theirs?
Pfft, it’s not like they were using their bodies for anything.
Ethical necromancers buy their corpses from families that can’t afford burials.
This guy gets it; you warn them ahead of time and put masks on the dead too so it’s not as spooky. Or, dia de los muertos tradition where you channel more energy to the dead regularly to “act themselves”. Necromancers don’t have to be dicks.
