Good Behaviour and Its Explanation
Added Thu Jul 29 13:09:25 2010 at level 51:

Charine's many victims might be able to attest at her seeming kindness to
her fallen enemies. After all, being a downright evil and destructive
sorceress, she is not expected to behave in such a manner.

(while the player prefers not to cause unnecessary grief to others, the
character must have her own justifications)

First, Conjurers must understand that one of the most important things in
interplanar dealings is the willingness to stand by contractual
obligations. A conjurer is thus, by habit, unlikely to betray those they
ally with without first stating her intention. She is not honest by any
means, but she will not break the Law of Contract. A promise must be
followed to the letter, but there is room for creative interpretation.

Second, the Planes watch their callers. One might be tempted to think that
a conjurer can deal with each servitor with impunity, but she actually gains
a reputation over time. Just as she has a reputation with Therans, she has
to maintain a good reputation with the Planes. To impress the Devils, she
must show strength, dominance and must not be cowardly.

Third, the conjurer enjoys a fight - a challenging fight. Servitors are
hardly impressed with the mass slaughter of a horde of rabbits. To strip an
enemy bare for no provocation is intentional weakening of the foe, and
speaks of the conjurer's desire to face weakened foes rather than strong
ones. And this is harmful to the reputation of the conjurer.
