#22, "Monks and mob killing..."
Edited on Mon 02-Jan-06 04:50 PM

          

When I think about your religion and what a "good" monk would be like or do, I start wondering about different NPCs around the world and how to treat them IC.

It makes sense to me that a monk of the crane would be, at least somewhat, reserved about who they kill, be it PC or NPC.

Naturally this can have some problem through gearing and ranking, and though there are plenty of places to gear and rank appropriatly, I thought I'd ask anyway.

What are your thoughts on this matter?

To allow freedom in terms of followers, I'm going to give a more general answer. My personal view is that race/align/religion/cabal should always be a consideration when ranking/gaining gear. If i'm evil, for example, and am given the choice of killing elves or killing pixies, my first thought would be elves--because elves contribute to the world at large, and all the evil joys of extinguishing those brilliant points of light.

Similarly, those neutrals/goodies that have no problem killing the king of their people without any type of rp also irk me--one could at least yell out a challenge before jumpin' on the poor guy!

Ultimately, my meaning is a well defined character will have ideas about who and what they should kill and under what scenarios--and that is what I would be looking for. Of course yelling "yeehaw" and killing every monk npc in the game might not be a great starting point.
