When was the last time your character did a good deed?
>>46288064
I played a Paladin. My last good deed was forking over nearly 2000 gold to get an on-and-off companion raised.
>>46288064
I cooked a chicken for a travel ally recently.
>it took 4 rerolls and 2 other guys to do it, but we cooked that goddamn bird
>>46288064
once, my wizard took an orphan as his apprentice. he was kind and wise and generous and even shared the powdered cactus sap he had been smoking since we passed through the fantasy mojave with the little androgynous wretch.

Define "good".
For being a purpose-built amoral killing machine, my destroyer demon is surprisingly decent. It's preference is to build patchwork covers by removing the worst things in people's lives in exchange for inconsequential details.
Its rationale is that a happy mortal is a mortal least likely to go back on a deal and complicate matters.
We arranged several adoptions for some Street orphans last game session.
We also publicly exposed someone who had been abusing their position as a judge to sell kids into slavery (slavery being punitive only in this region, and judges are explicitly not supposed to be compensated by the masters).

>Be super devout cleric
>Questing
>Notice the town doesn't do the setting's main religion
>Talk to a little boy who's really excited about it
>Teach him a short child's prayer, actually recite it IRL
>Tell him to keep the guardian angel in his heart
>[later] demons attacked the town
>jumped out of holes in the ground
>beat back the demons
>crowd came around us
>I ask if anyone's been injured
>someone brings out a kid with a twisted ankle
>it's the same kid I saw earlier
>say a prayer to the archangel
>heal the kid's ankle
Feels so fucking good, man. It's like I can actually be a hero this time instead of having the DM shit on me for every good deed I do.
>>46288064
A better question is when my character -didn't- do a good action.
Uknown to the party, he's an overall benefactor, that does a lot of stuff without any gain. 90% of his money went to give presents to other party members, friend NPCs, NPCs, helping towns, and mostly orphanages and feeding the poor.
Also he's the first to jump into action if anyone needs help, whenever it's important or even just doing some physical work.
I believe that so far, he's been donating much more money into beneficence than the party's paladin.

My Dark Angels tactical marine currently serving in Deathwatch gave a local Militia commander a small candy after saving him and his men from a Genestealer cult.
>>46288064
My peasant character started an uprising against a tyrant and ended up getting swarmed by demons and sacrificed to a demon lord.
She's a Police Officer with a Messiah complex.
Her entire career and life, as of late, is nothing but good deeds.
The most recent thing, specifically, was spending a day helping out a the homeless youth shelterso she had an alibi for all the documents that just got taken from Ministers Chambers and leaked onto the net.
>>46288064
Honestly? Of all the characters I've played, the last one was the most rotten in terms of morals. Dresden Files FATE, I was playing a Grey Court(version that consumes memories) who had become a psychiatrist to feed his needs in a way that was at least somewhat helpful. In the end, however, I embezzled $160 million dollars from a con artist with a secret Caribbean bank account; didn't return it to the people it was stolen from, just divvied it up with my party.
You know, I don't think I've ever performed a legitimately good or selfless deed in a PnP RPG.
>>46288064
Define good? By the DnD logic, never.
He tried saving a young woman from a necromancer (he thought it was just some serial killer, urban fantasy game) and when his gunshot to the necromancer's head did literally zero damage the necromancer instead forced him to kill the girl just to fuck with him. And that was the last time he tried to play hero so far.
>>46292217
>gunshot to the necromancer's head did literally zero damage
I've never had the opportunity. I've never had a single moral question beyond whether or not to kill the current random encounter. Not even a chance to wander through a town or some downtime. I'm the only fucking gm I know who even tries to scratch the surface of letting players develop their personalities, and I suck at it.

A couple sessions ago, we recovered a mystic amulet that was used for purifying a village's water supply, then our cleric and sorcerer both cobbled together a few improvements to boost the output and help with food production.
That count?
Besides the generic saving the day, I once gave all the money I got from a reward to a tavern wench because the DM decided she got pregnant after I fucked her.
Not sure if that counts, though.

>>46292217

So you support terrorism?

did this once, the bard walked in to the room, failed the perception check and trod in it. He was wearing sandals.
>>46288893
That sounds like an awesome orphan.
>>46288064
Talked my fellow Chaotic Asshole Half-Elf out of setting an entire forest on fire, as the local Fey would've probably been rather put out, and neither of us could afford to lose our flesh or worse at so early a point in what I'm sure will be careers of dickbaggery, most likely culminating in the false arrests or "accidental" sacrificing of the two Lawful Good Dwarf Paladin brothers, as well as possibly the TN Wood Elf Ranger for being a fucking snitch.

I love it. I feel bad for whoever has to clean that up though. Yikes.

I flipped some fucking tables and flogged some fucking Jew bitches. Shit was pretty fuckin cash. Fucking Jesus ftw. Fuck yeah!
>>46288064
I sent a good chunk of my pay from the last job back to my family and we handed over a piece of very valuable tech to people who can do some good with it
>>46298905
>not flipping loan sharks' tables on principle
If anyone deserves to have their tables flipped, it's them.
>>46288064
>my character
Ha ha, yeah... I'll, uh... get back to you on that.
>>46288064
I was in a Dawn of Worlds game last, so my "character", was responsible for creating a peaceful and good-natured (monstergirl) subraces of the violent, xenophobic races that the other players created. Also created the setting's version of Switzerland to offset the lava plains and toxic deserts.

Didn't kill that guy who was backtalkin'. That's a good deed, right?
