Walking on the dark side.

Hi fellow Dragonlancers. I don't post to the board often but a recent event in a game I'm running has me seeking other opinions.

I'm currently running a KOD campaign and one of the players, a Silvanesti Wizard has acted in a fashion unbefitting an aspirant to the white robes. In a recent encounter the party defeated a bunch of Minotaurs (a race he despises and hates). After defeating the Minotaurs, he proceeded to coup de grace the two he cast sleep on . This was questionnable enough in my opinion but to do so he had to lie to his good friend and long time comrade Brom (Cleric of Kiri olith).

Now to the question, should I tempt him to further dark acts and hence an alignment shift. We operate on a strict non-evil PC rule so this would result in his character becoming an NPC. I would appreciate any and all thoughts on this matter.

You don't move from White robes to Black robes instantly. But that act would definately be an evil act, and something that would cause him to fall from grace if you want put it like that. I would keep moving him down the path too. Maybe have an encounter with the Dark God of vengence in avatar form of an elf seeking to kill more minotaurs.

Thanks for the reply. I don't tend for him to go all Darth Vader overnight, but I am going to expose him to a lot more temptation. Thing is I feel a bit bad (not enough to not do it) encouraging him as if he does go evil he will lose his character. I only run heroic games (bit of a 2nd edition hang on).

Hmm, evil...not necessarily from the DL point of view (Remember the King priest...he certainly did things comparable to that)...depends on the context and type of threat the Minotaurs presented to the party if they lived...

Or I would guess...

Lying to do it on the otherhand...to a friend nonthelesss...it could be interesting to see where that went...
