If the PCs call his bluff and break down the bank door, the hostage taker may well chicken out and surrender.So am I alone here in that when I picture a random bad guy, he's thoroughly bad? Just to clarify, I'm talking about someone entirely intended to be an antagonist, not someone the PCs are supposed to "redeem" or some such. An actual bad guy.Do your bad guys have limits on what they're willing to do?</blockquote>
