[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 6802614, member: 6802604"] My group is likely a four or a five. To be fair, they haven't actually killed anything that could be reasoned with. Most of their enemies thus far have been unintelligent undead or wild animals, and the party lacks the ability to speak with or "handle" animals so they had no choice in the case of the latter. They did threaten an Innkeeper. He hired them to do a job, they did half of it and went back to demand payment, botched the deception roll and immediately started to physically threaten the NPC with what was tantamount to a death sentence. Being on his own with no immediate recourse the Innkeeper handed over payment and the party immediately fled into the surrounding wilderness in the middle of the night. Now, if the attempt at intimidation had failed would they have actually killed the NPC? Hard to say. The groups actions up to and after that point indicated to me they want to play a bad of charlatans and thieves rather than your stereotypical heroes. They keep walking a fine line and too many more shenanigans and they may find themselves a wanted group, which honestly I think they'd find fun. But no outright murder yet. Still, I rate them four or five because I just "feel" it in my bones that if push comes to shove they'll kill to get what they want as long as it isn't completely innocent women & children. I suppose if you take my gut feelings out of it they'd be more of a two or three, more prone to lie and threaten... for now. [/QUOTE]
