    Reminds me of the star wars ttrpg I was playing where I shot an engineer in the face without thinking to everyone’s shock. We were on a heavily colonized planet that was bombed to shit by the empire fwiw engineers there were helping to maintain the colonial rule and subjugation of the popluation

      My easiest test for a player I’m not sure about is to have the party encounter very polite slaveholders who go out of their way to help the party.

      Not to say you can’t roleplay an evil character but the way in which you do it matters too

        Fr a lot of it was a time crunch mission that I normally wouldn’t have thought doing this thing but ultimately I made the decision and owned up to it. It did haunt my character for a while and I didn’t exactly get the end I wanted but it put a lot of perspective in how things shake out minute to minute.

        It was what years ago a lot of the details went missing in my mind other than we needed to knock the power out and the shit show that came afterwards. That whole one chance to do this is what made me think it was worth it.
