If you e.g. liberally retcon things so that whenever the PCs get a crit on any BBEG it suddenly has no effect (and some DMs do this) because your BBEGs are precious then the narrative still is whatever you say it is in context. But you are saying that the narrative supports this because it is what you say. The simple fact of the matter is that the narrative does not support it.There is more to running a consistent narrative than just "whatever I say and the narrative supports it because it is whatever I say it is".If you know you are lacking in real world context of a broad range of DMs then start following the first rule of holes and stop digging.What you have said is boils down to you being a frothing at the mouth "My way or the highway" jerk DM who will target familiars at all costs, applying a "kill on sight" policy. These people exist.What I think you mean is that you are a more nuanced DM who considers familiars to be fair targets and normally low risk and you don't give familiars an automatic free pass. But the language you use is exactly the language used by a specific breed of jerk DM that actually means what they say.</blockquote>
