[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 7873282, member: 93670"] It depends on the setting & what you consider a "peasant revolt". In a setting like fr, greyhawk, or darksun they would be annihilated but maybe bur down a building or two. That's largely because peasants in those settings are basically slaves or serfs who live at the pleasure of some guy who could slaughter them all with only slightly more effort than telling his or her army to do it. In a setting like eberron things changebecause thanks to wide magic & public education you have commoners with magic items & not infrequently cantrips or ritualized magic before you even factor in the widespread martial training given to peasants during the war so they could be mobilized in response to an attack. Things are further shifted depending on who they are revolting against.... the crown/government/etc has generally little reason to be revolted against... but violent labor disputes have a history of going bad for both sides (often the boss first then later the labor).
