[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 4720192, member: 63763"] Killing an entire bloodline compared to killing the immediate family is "in kind"? There is a definite escalation between killing a spouse and two children, and the sheer number of dragons killed. There were generations there, not just the children/spouses of that dragon. If the dragon went to the Nth degree (which was going from a child killed to a pair of children and a spouce killed), then V went exponentially higher up the degree scale. However, while the dragon was in a blood feud, it was only able to act because of a number of mistakes on V's part. Because V: (a) was split from the party (b) was unable to teleport (c) was not resting (and thus missed a touch attack against a black dragon) (d) was wasting spells on a minor nuisance The dragon had an opportunity to strike, and V's family was put at risk. Knowing that there was/would be a dragon coming after then would have made things a lot easier to protect them. It would be nearly impossible for the same situation to occur unless the dragon relative was even higher level than the dragon in this instance. The argument that this will [i]prevent[/i] a powerful creature from seeking revenge seems unlikely. If anything it will definitely call the attention of something like say ... Tiamat, or perhaps a dragon that is high level enough to survive the spell, or just relatives that aren't directly related. More deaths makes it more likely that someone will notice. [/QUOTE]
