Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fenes" data-source="post: 3901540" data-attributes="member: 604">Most nobles will only treat your character like garbage if your character breaks the known and accepted rules of ettiquette and acts disrespectful. I see it as flavor in most cases - like when in a historical war movie a subordinate officer might say "with all due respect, sir, this course of action seems very risky" to a general, and not "You **ç% %&/ç** you will get us all killed, you +"*"ç* ç%&ç*%&!!!". Calling a noble or cleric "B****" would be the same as today calling someone the n-word - a very serious act of disrespect.Yes, but again - they have privileges, such as ranks and forms of adress they deserve - or do your characters address the Queen of the realms with "Yo, woman, we saved your rump, now give us the goods"?I never said they are protected from being destroyed - but how the PCs act in such a ploy effects the light they are seen with. If they show no respect for rank and station, then that will reflect upon them. There are enough ways to destroy a noble while conforming to at least the appearance of socially acceptable behaviour. I completely agree. And most will not be treated like dirt exactly because of their power. But we are not talking about mages, or famous adventurers - we are talking about commoners treating nobles like dirt.In my campaign, any adventurer who is growing famous and powerful will have a rather short path to nobility, since society tends to try to incorporate such people before they upset society. Roaming adventurers may take a bit longer.And I fully expect noble PCs to smack down any commoner who disrespects them, just as they can expect to be smacked down if they disrespect the king.</blockquote>
