[QUOTE="Helmet, post: 4143586, member: 62161"] Well, the DM has a lot of power. The second he stops creating the types of situations that get on his nerves, the problem is solved and everybody is happy. It's not like the PCs are raping women, robbing the bank and burning the orphanage. In other words, the players are not trying to run evil PCs. I'm pretty sure the PCs are white-hatted good guys who only want to do good things and occasionally kill the annoying NPCs who humiliates them. IMHO, it's okay for PCs to have a low tolerance for insults. I think it's cool, and I don't see that as [I]evil[/I] so much as [I]trigger-happy[/I]. Am I wrong? Is there no precedent in books and movies for a "good" character to kill people over insults? (BTW, yes, Vincent trying to take the baby away from the PCs was an insult. It's like as if the PCs had a beer on their table and they told Vincent not to take the beer, but he reached for it anyway. It's totally an insult. If they let him walk away with the beer or baby, they would be humiliated. Ergo, they can kill him if they want. It's the code of the violent hero.) [/QUOTE]
