Sure the fact that they are legends may get their foot in the door and may cause others to be willing to give them respect at first. But if they abuse it by lording their power over other people then people may fear them but they don't respect them.I was not at your gaming table so I don't know who is more clear about what happened. But I will say this if I was DMing and a heavy armored fighter came and started yelling at a gaurd who was in an already heated discussion with another member of the party I would have made the guards view the party in an unfavorable light. The cleric who cast wind walk was in the wrong he should have realized how it could be seen and he should have taken steps to prevent what happened.The other cleric should have tried to defuse the situation instead of getting in a pissing contest with the guard and when your high born high level lord came out he should have tried to smooth all the ruffled feathers. There were four characters acting up the two clerics, the guard and you.And the duel was way over the top why on earth would you as a noble born high level lord issue what was a no win situation for the guard. The guard showed more honor than you did over that because he accepted knowing that he could not win and he was right if you had killed him it would have been a form of murder.I think what happened was bad on everyone both players and DM. If the players have a reputation for being good and helping and are not behaving like rude jerks then yes the DM should make the NPCs more polite and more respectful ,but if the players are going to go around yelling and taking to task guards who are trying to protect their keep and doing actions that are going to put the guards on edge and take no responsibility for that and then a high level fighter challenge a guard to a duel that he has no way in winning I think you should expect that they will not look at you with anything more than fear and resentment.</blockquote>
