Very violent.Remember the classic "Three Musketeers" movies? D'Artagnan got into three duels in a few minutes, and all over things that were basically nothings. That's how I see D&D heroes, generally.I don't see human life in medieval times as having the same value as it does today, but as having much less value than your honor.Usually though, the adventures are set in a realm where people have power over others simply because of their birth - feudalism. If I can accept nobility having priviledges, if I can acept a king as being good, then I can accept heroes who don't value human life that much when weighted against what they consider their honor.</blockquote>
