Message: <blockquote data-quote="Imagicka" data-source="post: 3214785" data-attributes="member: 4621">Greetings…Actually, it does.  In my games, my nobles are better than you, and if you don’t give them the respect they deserve, then you’re going to be taught to respect them.  I don’t know where people got this idea that every man is equal.  After all, you are playing a class-based game, in a class-based world… Of course those people are better than you; the gods made them nobles.  You’re just some grubby adventurer who has to skulk around dungeons so you can feed yourself.  I’ve beaten this idea out of my players, because the party isn’t the only people that the king has hired to rescue the prince.  Not to mention, there are lots of knights and hanger-ons that would love to gain the king’s favour.  You don’t want to be treated like the mercenary you are?  Do something noble.  If my players play some money grubbing mercenary who thinks they are in some-way special, I do my best to beat that idea out of them.  I never go with the idea that players are professional adventurers that live outside the law.  I might go with the whole ‘privateer’ thing.  Where nobles and the powers that be give the players special discommendation.  ”First of all, it’s ‘your liege', not 'Mr. King’.  Second…I don’t know why I’m even going to bother to explain this to you.  In fact… if you wish you can leave right now.  --  Oh, you haven’t left yet?  Okay, then I will explain it to you.  Why?  Because they are peasants.  My son is a prince of the realm. “Tell you what, evidently you don’t know what it is to be noble.  Since you don’t want this noble mission and you think it’s more important to save a few peasants on the fringes of the kingdom, from some goblins.  Instead of securing the freedom of the heir-to-be, I’ll just have you outlawed, and have every two-bit greedy mercenary bounty-hunter like yourself come looking for your head, unless you want to be shot down like dog right here?“How's that for an answer?</blockquote>
