What is being discussed is what happened afterwards.  Genocide isn't taking things to a whole other level? V killed a black dragon, and in such a way to make it very difficult to raise it (disintegrate leaves no corpse). The mother wanted to go beyond simply killing V, but killing V's immediate family. Now, the extra things the dragon was going to do (soul bind) were escalating things. However wiping out not just the immediate family, but tons of relatives, is a whole other level of escalation. At best V was being EQUALLY evil as the dragon. Was the dragon stupid for leaving it's child behind to defend the horde? Perhaps. V was equally stupid for not trancing, for going off alone, and choosing a banned school that ended up preventing access to teleportation (although that was unintentional on V's part an was due to changes to the universe). V made mistakes that enabled the dragon to achieve it's plan ... JUST like the dragon made mistakes that allowed V to kill the dragon's child.  [quot]What if that stupid half-dragon centaur was GOOD? Who cares? It could just as easily find out about V's actions and try to kill V, leaving V's children with only one parent. Just because it's good doesn't mean it's going to go down every other peaceful avenue, figuring out what its cousin did to deserve this, etc.</blockquote>No it will wipe out the entirety of V's family line, because that is at best neutral <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=";)" /> Also, if it was actualy V's plan to avoid retribution and not revenge (there is no indication by V that this is any more than spiteful revenge on V's part) then there is a huge gap in that logic as BLOOD relatives aren't the only people that may go after V. For example, the centaur half of the half-centaurs family are just as likely to be upset about the massive slaughter. Not to mention Tiamat. If the goal is kill anyone that might be upset and come after V in revenge ... it would require destroying all intelligent life (and unlife, and sentient immortals, etc). If anything the greater the slaughter the more likely there is going to be someone seeking revenge.[/QUOTE]
