[QUOTE="Meatboy, post: 5712107, member: 40857"] True, but approval rating seems rather modern, if we are talking about a psuedo feudal society anyway. In feudal societies from what I've gathered the warrior class, knights or samurai take your pick, pretty much get to do whatever the want regardless of approval or disapproval from their lessers. Due in part to the warrior class being better armed/ fed/ trained than the peasants and usually having the backing of the King, at least in theory as vassals anyway as long as the king got his share and the warriors showed up to the wars. In fantasy however things are rarely as grim as they were in RW history and there is generally a strong middle class in fantasy setting (ei, people of wealth who aren't heaviy armed warrior class) which then brings scenarios like yours into focus. Allowing for people to be robbed who actually have something (unlike peasants who probably had next to nothing) And therefore making the evil baron more likely to use such a round about method of banditry.
