Indiana Jones's Egypt didn't do much about the Nazis and Jones having a shootout, or even just the Nazis having troops on their soil at all. The states in settings of adventure stories tend to keep their head down.Whether the PCs get away with murder in broad daylight does not change whether or not they are stronger than the local ruler. And "most likely will come for his head" doesn't follow; Chuck Norris could beat up the entire Congress, but that doesn't mean that he's starting a coup. For all the time Al Capone and Whitey Bulger were evading justice, none of them tried to kill the president, or even the mayor.I believe in consequences, but I don't like using a hammer against PCs. It's moot in this case, but if you're going to run in something where the law is going to fall on your head hard, I think the players deserve warning before they do it, probably before they make characters.Oh, and try to lead by example, by not having LG paladins commit assault (and one can make the case that the paladin's hands are deadly weapons with smite, so assault with a deadly weapon) in public in the middle of town.(Seriously; last night, our neutral and good party took out a group of semi-official law-men in the bazaar. If you don't want the PCs to leave town, don't have armed men grab them in town, under the delusion that they'll realize this is just a RP encounter and the PC will handle it peacefully. Or at least explain up front that's an expectation.)</blockquote>
