She's even more beautiful than Aphrodite, the not-at-all vain and jealous goddess who's shagging the God Of War on the side!"What could possibly go wrong? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />But these stories were told to Greek children to warn them against that kind of bragging and disrespect.In D&D, the gods are real and can come and get you for any real or imagined slight. Just because they usually don't (or have their servants do it for them) doesn't take away the memories of those terrible times when they did turn up!The NPCs of the D&D worlds aren't the kinds of populations who want to take chances about this stuff. If the players have their characters act disrespectfully, then the NPCs won't like that one bit, and will react realistically.</blockquote>
