>the improbably tall female fighter you've been adventuring with is actually a juvenile giantess that wondered away from her village while playing 'Forts & Knights' with her friends
Can you allow, what basically is, a child to serve as the parties beat stick / meat shield? Isn't that a "not good" act putting a kid in danger?
What do you do when her much taller parents show up?
Nolan Johnson
Was it emotionally painful when the big girl removed her helmet in shame?
Austin Bailey
Change objective as soon as possible, you must now locate the village and return your friend to her parents. As to the morality of the situation, I'd say it depends. If you knew she was a kid from the start, then yeah you're a piece of crap, if you didn't, the fact is that her parents are probably worried sick and you should really get her home. This will either be a great chance to retire the character or simply have a bit of character development during the sidequest before the parents give their approval. (Perhaps giants typically go wandering when they come of age and her parents won't mind as long as they get a letter now and then.)

Child labour was bread and butter in the past. There's literally nothing wrong with having her, unless she's like age 6 in giant years.
Jonathan Thompson
Any parent who would, through lack of supervision, permit their daughter to wander out far enough to fall into our party's clutches simply does not love the girl. Fact. And that being said it's debatable who's company she's better off in.
Secondary to that, what exactly is our party messing with? Sometimes it's immoral to shove an AK-47 into the hands of 6 year old and tell them to paint the town red...... and sometimes one would suppose it kinda "is" moral to do just that. Being an adventurer typically entails going around looking for trouble and committing a shitload of murder, so letting a stupid kid tag along to help us gut the world because they enjoy it isn't all that far off the moral compass. It might even be considered a source of character development for the lass.
Nolan Young
A large number of characters are juveniles as well. You can create a character as young as 15 in a lot of systems, which is a juvenile as well. They may not be making the best decisions, but by a lot of standards, the character is still responsible for themselves.
Now if we are talking much younger - going through puberty, for example - then it would be understandable to be more concerned about their welfare. But if the character is that young, it really should come across by the way they act and handle situations. It should not come across as that much of a surprise to anyone who has spent a lot of time with them.

physically their body looks like your average humanoid adult just larger and with a youthful face mentally they have the decision making and thought processes of a 10 year old... so easily mistakable for your basic fighter she has armor (giants love to forge and encumbrance ain't no thing to them) and weapons (natural damage reduction) because that's typical of them regardless of age
Daniel Cruz
Unless you have no method of communicating with them, you should be able to identify the difference between a shy pouting child and a shitty DMPC brooding edgelord. Or an overeager suicidal berserker and a naive playful prepubescent.
If you can't tell the 10 year old giant from the 45 year old human fighter, then either your fighter is mentally retarded or you just aren't paying attention to anything.

I'd not suppose it inconceivable for a party encountering a strange massive woman warrior with a weirdly childlike air to assume they were some sort of demihuman hybrid, or simply a highly eccentric wanderer.
Being aware of giants in the area might tip them off more than anything, if they're unaware of a local giant population they would have less reason to put two and two together.

Putting defenseless innocents in unnecessary danger is "not good". If you are willing and able to lift a weapon and strike out, you are not defenseless.

>If you are willing and able to lift a weapon and strike out, you are not defenseless. yeah, but the character doesn't fully know the consequences of their actions it's exactly like a kid playing with a gun and giving them the go ahead as long as they point it at people you don't like

If giants have the same proportions as humans at the equivalent stages of their life, you would still be able to tell a giant was a child if they were younger than the equivalent of at most a precocious 11 year old. Children have different body shapes, proportions, limb lengths, etc. than adults do, and sexual dimorphism is much less pronounced. Unless the children of giants have the same proportions as a human adult, not even mentioning that they would have to carry themselves in the same way as an adult (people start carrying themselves very differently during and after puberty), then nobody who has spent significant time around children is going to think this is an adult unless they have reason to believe there is something badly wrong with this "adult".
Dominic Howard

kids stick fight all the fucking time giants, by magic or supernatural law, are pound for pound stronger and tougher then a regular sized human proportionally or the square-cube law would crush them
thus she's already stronger and tougher than a basic humanoid that raw strength and innate durability (plus heavy plate) beats out swordsmanship in almost any conflict

Not to mention that, since she's a kid, most of what she knew would probably be from watching others fight and trying to mimic what she saw them doing. So she'd come off as self-taught and strong enough to back it up.

Your moral compass is very, very skewed. I am deeply concerned you think the things you said are in any way ethical. >Any parent who would, through lack of supervision, permit their daughter to wander out far enough to fall into our party's clutches simply does not love the girl. No. Just no.

A moral compass can't be skewed since morality is not objective and no one was talking about ethics to begin with.

One point of contention I think is how old is OP's "juvenile"?
IMHO, if she's 14, that's fine. This isn't some first world civilization, but a world where people deal with their issues by slaying each other until problem solved.
But if she's 6, probably not morally correct. But that's up to your party members and their alignment.
Anthony Sullivan
so long as she keeps an eye on that fucking warlock, we're cool I should probably tell the bard before he sleeps with her, but not before he tries As for the parents? I'm a cleric, that's as good as having Pelor Himself watching over her!
Parker Cooper
Ethics are the principles that morals are based off of. By that, morals are the individual's interpretation of the actual principles of right conduct, which is the definition of ethics. So, yes, it is a moral judgment, as is your own.
Blake Nguyen
>Can you allow, what basically is, a child to serve as the parties beat stick / meat shield? Sure. Ethics, Morals, and Rights aren't something adventurers need to be concerned with. Just accept quests, win combat encounters, get loot and exp.
>What do you do when her much taller parents show up? Lure them to some place where we have combat advantage then roll initiative. If we kill her parents, then we become her parents.
Josiah Thompson
>mentally they have the decision making and thought processes of a 10 year old... Eh, we allow women and blacks in adventuring parties nowadays. I'm sure that is Optional: decision-making power, abstract reasoning, and thought process.
Wyatt Smith
Do children even have sexual dimorphism? I don't notice it, except in their scents/smells, and even then it's nowhere near as obvious as the difference in, say, a dominant male and a submissive male.
Tyler Brooks
I disagree.
Defenseless innocents can still be a danger with their voice and what they are able to convince others to do. Defenseless innocents can also have special privileges under the law that they can leverage over the common man (e.g. control of currency), so even if they are defenseless when alone, they become dangerous in a system. Defenseless innocents are also able to act as baby factories for producing well-armed warriors, and sometimes it's more efficient to cut the problem off at the source.
I agree with you that defenseless innocents who are uninvolved with the conflict/problem, should be kept out of danger. But it's important to put limits on how far being a defenseless innocent can protect you.
Nathaniel Myers
>it's exactly like a kid playing with a gun and giving them the go ahead as long as they point it at people you don't like So long as it's not my kid, I fail to see the issue. They hurt themselves with the gun? eh, not my kid, no big loss. They hurt the people I don't like? fuck yeah! I even have plausible deniability.
If it were my own kid tho I'd make sure they knew how to handle a firearm without breaking their wrists/shoulder with the recoil, and also how to properly fire a gun i.e. not break it by being a dumbfuck, since chances are it's my gun they're playing with.
David Johnson
Oh ok. I'm not really into the whole "ethics" "morals" thing. It always seemed to me as just arbitrary barriers people erect between themselves and getting shit done, and I didn't see the point in doing that.
Jaxon Gutierrez

empathy, like altruism, is a technique to garner reciprocity. the over man has no need of the charity of others or the use of society as a crutch to prosper. thus those behaviors are discarded

not before approaching puberty. now, the age does vary, but "on average" you could say that anything below 9 years old could be very difficult to tell without actively checking genitals (you monster).
That said my older sister apparently needed a bra by age 8, while I still could be mistaken for a little boy around 13.
Xavier Roberts
Not one of the male teachers in the last 15 years on our entire schoolboard has turned out to be into little kids. There are *tons* of educators, and yes, plenty of guys like kids; There's such a thing as fathers (at least outside of shitty ghettos anyways) and older brothers for example.
However, proven innocent and accused are *not* the same thing at all most especially when it comes to pedophilia, where the mere accusation is enough to uproot your whole damn life.
The lack of male teachers in the lower grades is one of the reasons male children have been doing steadily worse; not only by a lack of role-models in education, but also because male teachers are more likely to tolerate young male behaviors.
Like fucking running around. Or wanting to learn in a method OTHER than "SIT DOWN. SHUT UP. SHUT THE FUCK UP, AND COPY THESE HERE NOTES", which has been demonstrably proven to be just about the worst way of teaching boys that you can do. The near-removal of anything rough or stimulating in recess or gym has also proven detrimental, landing those kids on fucking ritalin even though they're not hyperactive, they're fucking 7 year olds who are SICK of fucking standing in line or sitting and not moving the fuck around!
Boys doing badly in school due to this are labeled "underachievers" or "lazy" or "dumber" than girls.
Men have nuturing instincts as well. They nurture a little differently, with different lessons and foci, but no less valuable to the children that they teach.
As an example, waaay back, my Geography and Ecology teacher (he did both) would give us hands-on experience with local flora and fauna, the latter of which were things he'd caught in the woods that weekend or the like. Most girls in the class were disgusted, but the boys were absorbing the material at breakneck pace.
The girls were not called out as "lazy" or "underachievers" though. He was instead chewed out for teaching in a "sexist" way.
