The problem, i think, its because they surrendered. This is some kinda Magical Geneva Conventions bullshit or something. And most of people i have seem bringing this argument about baby killing are the same who don't have any problem of killing babies in IRL. Its a GOTCHA moment who in most games never happens.
Even then, everybody forgets the third option the game itself presents: you can take them as prisoners. And a B/X party would have followers/hirelings to guard the captives while the party finishes the crawl.
I've actually dealt with the Orc Baby dilemma myself. The only solution is to ask your players to agree to something or roll for it. Either way, you move on before it becomes an argument. At the end of the day, if people get shitty about it you can show them the door.
Little late powerlevel but I worked with a Moroccan guy talking swarthy AF and looked like he could have been a Sammy Davis Jr. lookalike one day some guy got in a pissing contest about some dumb shit and told him to get his black ass back in the kitchen and it was on he ran at him and gave him a Cotton Hill headbutt to the crotch for calling him black.
Full consequences, and then record his autistic screams when he can't control it anymore because his soul left the new demon he is now.

This shit is like being captured by Illithids and the player being ecstatic about his character having a tadpole implanted in his skull. Or having your character killed and looking forward to playing their animated skeleton. What the fuck.
I don’t know why anyone would want that even in a fantasy game. Slaad are terrible and they don’t have any flavor for role playing.
Well, its Mexico. Place was a shithole before the nukes and a worse shithole after them. And its also Mexico, with a long tradition of folk heroes, so don't feel like you need to hold back with some of the wackier parts of Fallout or any pop culture references. No reason you couldn't have a trio of mariachis known as Los Tres Amigos running around fighting raiders, for example.
Yep, you aren't that character anymore. The you that was that character died when the migration to the abyss turned your soul into a slaad. Same with if you got turned into an ilithid.
Please post more stories, wizards being dicks is fun as hell.
He said he wants to be able to reap the benefits of becoming a large aberration because he rolled a variant human tempest cleric with elemental adept and likened it to being like pikachu.
