Do I think low level unimportant people like tavern keepers who know how powerful the pCs are would treat them warily yes I do.But that is not always true of a high ranking official or a noble who is secure in his position. Because if the world has laws and standing armies then just killing a mouthy noble should have severe consquences to the PCs who do it.At 15 level pCs are almost unstoppable by any town guard but what would be the sense of slaying all them just because you can when they come to arrest you for starting  abar brawl.I played the 15 level fighter and I had great fun smashing up a bar over an insult to my country. It was all subdual damage. When the town guard showed up I was trapped and could not get through them unless I fought them to. I don't play my characters as stupid or metagame hey I am a high level PC I am untouchable. I surrendered spent the night in jail singing drunken songs with my former brawlers and got released in the AM after I paid a fine.I could have fought by way out but then we would have to have left town without finishing our mission to the town.In the game world you meet all kinds of NPCs some are polite some are not. Unless you are playing evil PCs who don't care about the consquences and you do want role playing in your game then the answer is not kill everyone who insults you or pisses you off. Saying its the dMs fault because not all NPCs bow and cower at the sight of the PCs is wrong. It is players playing their PCs as chaotic stupid. As I said before if my plaers wnated to behave like this I would have consquences like their reputation would grow about their murderous ways. Nobody would willing help them, they would not be welcome in lawful kingdoms and they would get the attention of a band of good adventurers who would be high enough level to bring them to justice.</blockquote>
