[QUOTE="Telas, post: 2084908, member: 20934"] It could be a mistake, but I think it's more of an overstatement. I suspect that they were trying to say poison is recognized by almost every government as an intent to commit murder. Since so many thrones change hands by the use of poison, even evil kingdoms (especially evil kingdoms?) would outlaw it. Sure, you can buy rat poison, but you can't exactly smear that on a knife and attack someone with it. :p Besides, rat poison has an arguable use; Black Adder Venom probably doesn't. I really hate to keep beating my own drum (well, OK, maybe I don't :cool: ), but [B]conflicts like this would be avoided if lawful characters had to fill out their own "Code of Honor".[/B] Your Code allows poison? Cool, but every law enforcement officer in the region knows that, too. Expect a little more attention than the average Monk. :\ Telas Edited to add: Li, you mentioned JKD earlier. I train at a JKD Concepts school, although my primary art is Kali. Bruce Lee also said that you should learn the rules before attempting to modify or break them; sometimes those rules are there for reasons you can't yet see. :cool: T [/QUOTE]
