Hi, I'm running an Eberron campaign for my group, and I have a clear idea of who my BBEG is. I plan for this guy to a thorn in my group's side sporadically throughout the campaign, particularly as a villain who likes to mess with the characters' heads, both in terms of creating a bit of horror, and in presenting the players with difficult moral dilemmas.
I already have some pretty good ideas for some challenging moral dilemmas, but I will need more: I'm looking for the sort of dilemmas that the players may discuss later on in their own time and ask: "Did we really do the right thing back there?" Ideally, the dilemmas would force the players to try and decide what choice is the lesser of two evils: Either choice has positives and negatives, and the players need to decide the outcome based on their own moral beliefs. it shouldn't be a case of "good vs evil" or "law vs Chaos", but more like "Rights of the few or Needs of the many?" or "Do we subvert a people's beliefs or genocide them because robbing them of their free will is worse?".
Any suggestions?
