Realism and logic can sometimes seen as backward. Nothing happens if the players play by table rules. Again, Lanefan is entirely right (at least in my POV) and he is not excusing any bad behavior. He's just stating the obvious.I want to say that this is exactly backwards, and that you are excusing the Dungeon Master and the other players from their moral responsibilities both for their own behavior in-game, and from their moral responsibilities out-of-game to communicate acceptable playstyles before an unacceptable PC hits the mat.
Finally! Thank you.But if I'm being fair, this is also something a player should check before playing such a character, without needing to be told.
These are in answers about an opposing faction showing its color in enemy territory. See Lanefan's post.In real life? They're going to be torn to pieces.
In D&D? Absolutely nothing. Dirty looks. Someone might spit on them.
In real life you are entirely correct.
In D&D? Exactly as the above. Thorn to pieces, quartered by horses, hanged, burned on a pyre, after being fakely trialed and tortured on the public place for a good show. This is how medieval (and early renaissance) were dealing with criminals, enemies and spies within their territories.
