If one burns your house, he can repair the damage (by paying to repair your house). If one kills you, then there is nothing to be done IRL to make you whole.In a fantasy setting were resurrection is available (even if extremely expansive), would it carry the same weight?Nobleman #1, entering the gentleman's club: "Hi guys, I killed John again yesterday at the MusketQuest range, he won't join us for the habitual pool game."Nobleman #2: "well that sucks, I have a party scheduled on Friday!"Nobleman #3: "I killed Robert in a duel yesterday and I had the church plan a raising ceremony tomorrow, maybe we could accomodate both raises to occur on the same day?"Nobleman #1: "Sure, i missed the debutante ball last time I was killed and I was really infuriated by it. I am pretty sure John would like it if he's raised in time."Meanwhile, at Nobleman #1's manor:Mum of #1: "Honey, our son is asking for an increase to his allowance, he has a lot of 500 gp diamonds to buy... I hope he'll introduce his girlfriend to us soon!"Dad of #1 (remembering his dissolute youth): "Erm... yes, let's send him some more money but don't get your expectations too high..."If you think 5e lacks a money sink, introduce... casual killing as a social activity for the landed gentry.</blockquote>
