Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chupacabra" data-source="post: 2490047" data-attributes="member: 17708">Some wondered what my PC's motivations for killing the sleeping bandit was: revenge, tactics, self-defense, etc.  I would say more tactics than anything else.  Again, thinking we were outnumbered around 2-1, I figured that if I did not dispatch the sleeping bandit now (who had suffered no damage so far in the fight) he would wake up in a minute (10 rounds) fresh and ready to kick our now-wounded or now-dying tails.  It was simply a case of kill him before he kills me or my comrades.As for the bandits demanding "only" my gold, in this particular scenario my PC's mentor had entrusted quite a tidy sum of gold to him to take to a nearby town.  If the bandits "only" took my PC's gold -- they might as well have taken his life also, seeing that loosing all that gold would have meant utter failure of his mission.  BTW the first spell I was attempting to cast (when I got a crossbow bolt thru my chest) was Prestidigitaion -- NOT an attack spell.  I was going to make strange colors rise up from my hands and try to bluff the bandits into thinking I was a mighty spellcaster rather than a feeble apprentice wizard; i.e. a NONVIOLENT solution to the bandit problem.  Once they shot me a new blowhole, I figured it was time to break out what little offense I had available.</blockquote>
