[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3671501, member: 53"] I think this is "gamer logic" rather than "real world logic." They gamers sees the pluses and decides that it's the only right move. Look at the real world. When police capture suspects do they strip them naked and leave them that way? Do soldiers strip enemy soldiers and leave them that way? Do hostage takers normally strip their captives? While there are exceptions, they are rare or brief (usually for searches). There are reasons it doesn't happen that often in the real world. A practical one is that, when is hostile areas, you just made yourself a target. When a hostage taker strips his hostages naked the snipers know to aim for the clothed people. A more common reaction is that these things "just aren't done" and there are repercussions for those that break these societal rules. This shouldn't happen any more often in a game than it does in the real world. That it does is usually a sign that either the DM wants to humiliate his players, or that he is looking at the small picture. [/QUOTE]
