[QUOTE="Dissenter, post: 435176, member: 8343"] This started to become common practice in the campaign i was in, whenever the PC's would get frustrated with an enemy, they would scry on him, buff up quickly, scry one more time to amke sure he hadn't moved and teleport in to gack him. I started to have second thoughts after the second or third time. :( Number one, this is one of the most dishonorable ways to beat someone. Its worse then having someone tie all of their limbs up, and gag them. Its on par with assassinating someone. I don't think it should be disallowed in game terms, but there are things you can do to combat it. 1.) Make it highly illegal. It is murder, plain and simple. No self defense case here. 2.) Start to give the PC's a bad rep when they do it. Have town people run away from them, have children scream in terror whenever they are seen. It will probably make some of them rethink their actions. 3.) Start to do it to the PC's, but instead of the bad guys being the ones doing it, have teams of lawful characters empowered by the ruling authority to take out these terrors to society ( the pcs ). See how the PC's feel when they have to kill the good guys because of their evil acts. 4.) Start shifting the PC's alignment to chaotic. None of these really work if you are playing an evil campaign as most of them rely on guilt, and a sense of morality. It will certainly work if you have a paladin, or lawful good cleric in the group. ( If they participate, take away all of their powers immediately :eek: ). There is no excuse for assassination in the eyes of their god. [/QUOTE]
