[QUOTE="NexH, post: 5405142, member: 15200"] I agree. I was unpleasantly surprised when reading "Not evey villain the heroes overthrow deserves death" only to be followed by "Some deserve worse". The subtitle "How to defeat—rather than kill—your enemies" seems, to me, also misleading. I was also stumped by the suggestion that these punishments are appropiate for those with a code against killing; by the description of most the punishments, I guess these codes are not founded on moral grounds. On another aspect, the implicit suggestion that recovery from some bodily mutilations should be as rare as coming back from the death struck me as strange, to say the least. While I appreciated the caveat that some kind of punishments should be reserved for higher tiers of play, it seemed nonetheless genereous (or over the top) to allow the option of campaing-wise momentous effects such as "Torn from history" or "Eternal torment" at zero extra cost for the character.
