[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 5326915, member: 9789"] re: Coup de Grace Yeah, honestly it sort of comes down to a philosophy thing. What you said is completely true and valid. On the other hand, what Mez said is also true and valid: in this situation, we had just killed the guy's boss and smacked him upside the head; the likelihood of him dying just to stab at us was decent enough and we were certainly going to kill him if he did it. One could argue that a merc at that point would cut his losses and surrender - it has been known to happen. ;) Velmont stated the guy was a zealot, and that is certainly the impression I got: he clearly intended to die with his action, but it was particularly shocking since we'd never even encountered these guys before. Anyway, I guess it all comes down to context, and the situation itself. It's hard to kill a PC, frankly, and a lot of factors come into play. Not the least of which tends to be luck: in this case, Pis had a +8 against OAs or something like that and he still got hit - twice - for exactly his HP total. There was about 10 different ways the dice could have favored him, but it didn't happen. But in the end, it's all very situational. re: Thread Thanks for being honest and cool, everyone. Sorry this hasn't turned out better but any resolution that leaves everyone still playing PbP is a good resolution. [/QUOTE]
