Assume there are other black dragons alive. Will they stand for this? Will the rest of the evil dragons stand for this? Heck, will the rest of dragonkind stand for this? What will Tiamat do about it?And what will every single evil being in the world think about the fact that there is a flat out lunatic elf with glowing eyes that can kidnap one of their family and then ... murder anyone who traces blood to that person?What will the forces of good think? What will the kings and queens, the emperors and empresses, the lords and ladies think about the possibility that somewhere, there's an elf with the power to wipe out a whole dynasty, seemingly at whim? Add to that any organisation with strong familial ties (such as any mob equvivalents) and countless other beings who would have reason to fear such a power.In my campaign, once news got out (and it would get out, there's too many scrying spells for it not to), the hunt would be on. Quests would be issued, assassins would be dispatched, heck, crusades would be formed ... all with the express purpose of taking out the elf with the killer spell.I could even see me having good and evil join forces to put the threat down (which would probably damn some of the good people, but hey, win some, lose some).Else they would live under the shadow of fear of their whole families being wiped out, should they happen to entertain the wrath of V.And V's family would be prime targets for anyone out to get V. Control the family and you control V.So, casting familicide was not in any shape or form V safeguarding her family. Quite the opposite, IMO./M</blockquote>
