Sometimes an adventure isn't as straightforward as it
might seem.MORAL QUANDARIES
If you want to give the characters a crisis that no amount
of spellcasting or swordplay can resolve, add a moral
quandary to the adventure. A moral quandary is a
problem of conscience for which the adventurers must
make a single choice-but never a simple one.MORAL QUANDARIES
