What are some of your favortie characters you have played?

A very long time ago, I played a fighter who lost his hand at 2nd Level and had it replaced with a +1 battleaxe. I guess you could say that Billi the Axe was a barbarian before there was such a class. (And yes, I stole his name - but nothing else - from the old Horseclans novels . . . which should tell you how long ago this was).

My other favorite odd character was a GURPS necromancer. He kept the party in the dark for quite a while about his true spell list, pretending to be a "simple hedge witch healer" (since most of the low-level prerequisite spells were the same). He was actually a nice guy. He was just obsessed with Death and the dead. He'd be a tech on "CSI: Magus," were I to recreate him these days . . . :)

I'd have to lean towards evil. As soon as they tried to surrender they become non-combatants, fit only for the greatest insult a Gorum worshipper can give, "You're not even worth killing."

Not that this prevents said cleric from dispensing some harsh punishments anyway, be it claiming both of them as bounties or something else. "Can't do much robbing without hands. Begging on the other hand, bright future in that ahead of you two."

Hi all!

Very new here, but I've gamed for a looooonnnnng time.

I must agree with Mikaze. I tend to play/run my fantasy with a very historically medieval flavor. A cleric dispensing summary justice by taking off the hands of known thieves would be quite fitting. Now, an argument could be made that these two weren't "known" to be theives: they could have "just been there" (visiting friends they didn't know were active thieves?), while the Darkness that ticked off the mage-type *could* have had some other origin.

But to sort of get back to the original issue: I think the GM needs to ask the players, "What would have happened if the tieflings had accepted the offer to fight the cleric and managed to survive? Would you all have let them go?"

If the answer is some version of "We'd still have killed them." then (as a GM) I'd be thinking that this party is definitely moving toward the Evil end of the alignment spectrum . . . :P
