		<description>Glad I could help. I&#039;m not a massive fan of alignment either, although that&#039;s more because I don&#039;t think it can really be defined well without railroading players.</description>

		<description>Nice war story. I&#039;m thinking of running a WH40k RPG later this fall. Hopefully I can get a lot of those kind of situations in the game. 

Thanks for validating everything I wrote in my latest post by the way! ;)

		<description>@dar

In the event, that&#039;s what one of the other party members did, nearly inducing a total party kill. She&#039;d been acting as the voice of reason to the other two of us anyway. 

Wish I&#039;d thought of the last spark of humanity idea. The glorious sacrifice in the name of the Emperor could have played out nicely (the problem being that using a void grenade in close quarters is basically suicide and we&#039;d had most of our weapons taken off us).</description>

		<description>@swordgleam

I quite often play characters who have a moral stance that doesn&#039;t tie up with my own - I like playing Paladins for example, despite the fact that I&#039;m an atheist and don&#039;t like the kind of unquestioning zeal that is generally the hallmark of paladins. Roleplaying yourself is no fun at all. 
This is all amplified in the Warhammer 40k universe, where you are pretty much playing an over-zealous bad guy no matter what you do.

For the most part, my characters morals didn&#039;t bother though. He didn&#039;t do anything that wouldn&#039;t have happened in a Hollywood action film prior to that. </description>

		<description>I would have tossed the grenade and taken punishment for failing my mission as penance. I might have even played it out as a last spark of humanity driving some kind of madness within my character to do the deed.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m curious. You say that you were uncomfortable with the decision, but it&#039;s one your character would have made. So my question is, why were you playing a character whose morals made you uncomfortable?</description>
