[QUOTE="Trit One-Ear, post: 6012683, member: 6678017"] I agree with [MENTION=150]Radiating Gnome[/MENTION], (and would xp him if i could) consequences can make even the most hack-happy heroes think twice. My players recently went back on their word on a deal with a master thief, and turned him over to the authorities. The then made a deal to reduce his jail time if he helped them on a mission. Given another opportunity to release him, they returned him to the cruel and abusive captain of the guard. Eventually, this thief I going to become a problem for them. He has no reason to trust them now, and enough of a grudge to fuel quite a little revenge project. Making your players feel as if their actions have lasting effects isn't just good story-telling, it's a good way to make things challenging for them.
