[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 6908772, member: 6775477"] I agree, and feel the DM messed up. However, assuming the law doesn't get involved (for whatever reason), the rest of my post is valid. Depending on how far the session progressed, the DM might be able to have the law get involved later, but otherwise he'd have to ret-con the session and many DMs (including myself) hate to do that. I'm not saying they wouldn't do those things, I just pointed out a generality for after the fact. All of this assumes that the moment has passed and is dealing with the aftermath (probably from at least a day or two later). Remember, this was not the end of the session, and the DM didn't have any of these things happen. Unless they ret-con it, none of that happened. Really? You think a player who just had an unarmed bouncer cut down because he dared attack him with a real weapon is going to try to avoid harming the peasant mob? They would justify it as self defense and slaughter everyone. Many players use D&D as escapism, allowing them to do things that would be considered wholly inappropriate in real life. As for the other PCs, as I noting in another post, Players (in general) are far too hesitant to oppose the actions of another PC, simply because they are a PC. Some players will do so, but IME, they're fairly rare. [/QUOTE]
