This topic needs to be brought up.Many players simply don't comprehend the medieval class system and end up getting into all kinds of trouble because they refuse to "defer to their betters." They think just because they can kill an orc king they can kill a baron in their homeland. Sure, they could, but it would be murder and they would become hunted fugitives under sentence of death... Similarly, you can't (barring some juicy blackmail or other advantage) argue with, humiliate, insult or threaten the nobility. If you do, you get "thrown in irons" at best and get "the chop" at worst. These people are born into power and expect to be treated with courtesy and respect for their position. It's all they've ever known and "the way it should be." Anyone who barges in and upsets their apple cart will have the full brunt of that authority used against them before such "dangerous ideas" can spread and "infect the common folk." As a player, I have always tried to defer to nobles in the game, even if I speak poorly of them behind their back, doing it to their face seems like remarkably poor roleplaying and a very bad idea for my character's continued well-being. And when playing nobility, I am quick to remind others of my position and throw my weight around like a pompous windbag. They may resent it, but they tend to act properly around me, at least in public... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
