[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 1734912, member: 463"] Personally I would never grant a PC plot immunity along the lines of "Your PC will never be tortured or raped", OTOH I would be willing to give a guarantee along the lines of "I will never _describe_ your PC being tortured or raped (unless you request it)". In a Simulationist type game that emphasises in-game realism PCs can be tortured or raped just like anyone else. OTOH in a more Narrativist game (eg Conan RPG) I will put some effort into not deprotagonising a PC; so (real in-game example) if the attractive young female barbarian PC gets drunk on Kothian grain spirit and passes out unconscious on her own in the rough part of Shadizar the Wicked, most decadent city in Zamora, I'll aim to think up justifications for why she might not be raped - maybe the swarthy NPC mercenary caravan guards she's been chatting to have taken a liking to her and stand guard over her all night, keeping the wolves away until she awakes with a sore head next morning... that actually created a nice bond between the hungover PC and the guards that played really well in the rest of the scenario.
