[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8356382, member: 22779"] Yeah, I'd say, from my very, very limited understanding, that most of Europe was pretty codified when it came to laws by the time of the Fall of Rome and afterwards. I mean, you have a thousand (ish) years of Roman rule, it's going to leave a bit of a habit of codified law. :D As I said, you were far, far more likely to be sued by a viking than pillaged. Now, the actual codified laws? Yeah, some of them were right out to lunch by modern standards. Like totally bat poop crazy. :D But, they did have laws. Note, I totally agree that the laws of Waterdeep are player facing with a very thin veneer of in game justification. I just thought it was very funny that my players went right around the twist about it. "Hey guys, we're playing an urban campaign where there are guards all over the place and the city is (largely) a pretty lawful (as in law abiding, not the alignment) place. How about we [I]don[/I]'t play murder hobos this time?" "WHAT??!?!?! Are you freaking kidding me? This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard!! How dare you limit my actions like this!?!?!?!" Why yes, I am rather happy with my new group. Why do you ask? :p [/QUOTE]
