But to go from there to auto-javelin a lightly clad individual merely because he is not wearing armour? Excellent points, not arguing against my main point: without further explanation, auto-javelining travellers because of their lack of heavy attire is just wierd. Indeed! And had any witnessed first hand the arcane spellcaster wreaking havoc and survived, I would expect them to attempt a ruthless vengeance. But such is hardly auto-javelining a traveller for wearing pyjamas.  But it is "balanced". Except between editions.   Right. But it is still a possibility. Even if you realise that you will win; you risk losing valuable resources (at the very least healing spells/potions) and time...   IMX, it isn't the DM making the PC's regret showing mercy, its the PC's never showing mercy. Never accepting surrender, never taking prisoners. Completely bloodthirsty. YMMVIn one battle, a goblin tried to surrender to a player, the player chopped its head off, the next goblin committed suicide by throwing himself out the third story window. That made the player think.</blockquote>
