I played the pacifist in a group of people who had varying moral
compasses.
In the end, it worked out, because while I wasn't willing to kill, I
managed
to be the "cooler head" in a lot of situations and the group tried to find
ways around having to kill someone unless it was absolutely necessary.
That
said, I was only unwilling to kill, myself. I wouldn't allow someone to be
killed by someone else if I didn't think it was deserved, but perhaps
that's
more of a "I want to keep my hands clean, and let someone else do the
dirty
work"? Still, it was a rather powerful moment when my character did
finally
kill someone. Needless to say, the rest of the group was absolutely
stunned.
Made for a really enjoyable role playing session, if I remember correctly.
