Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elf Witch" data-source="post: 3901559" data-attributes="member: 9037">I believe in realistic role playing and by that I mean I don't expect PCs to have a different standard of behavior than NPC soley based on their status as a PC.If you read this from the DM POV he said that they treated the PCs with courtsey opened the keep opened the armory. But most telling he said these men were the "law" so while they may not be noble they were more than commoners. They were doing their job which was to protect the keep they had no reason to believe that the flying cleric was what he said he was and every reason to believe from the six months experience that it was some kind of powerful undead come to kill them all. They did stop firing when the female cleric convinced them that the flying cleric was not a threat. Then  after they stopped firing the female cleric started yelling at the guards and calling them stupid. IMO she was the one who was disrespectful first to these men who have the authority of their lord. The fact that the guard then called her a name back was not really diplomatic of him or very smart when this cleric could cause him all kinds of pain. But in no way did the female cleric behave in a manner befitting her calling or her rank. Both of these characters were in the wrong but the cleric was in no way the wounded party she was behaving for all intents and purposes like a b****. If a PC goes into a town that he is not from and gets in the way of a guard preforming his duty and then mouths off to him even if he is a noble the PC should expect some kind of consquence.If I was a PC hired by a King to defend their keep and I thought the keep was under attack and I fired on what I thought was a threat and it turned out I made a mistake and I stopped firing and a noble NPC not the king came and started calling me stupid I doubt my PC would stand there and just take it just because this person is a noble. In my capaign I would not have my rulers allow visiting nobles to smack around my guards who I have given the authority to be the law because by disrespecting that person they are ultimately disrespecting me and my law. Don't forget that duly appointment members of a noble guards, seneschal who are doing their lords bidding are said to be speaking for the noble and to not show respect to this person is the same as disrespecting the nobel himself.</blockquote>
