In my opinion, any player of a monstrous race-character should already by default be "okay" with being attacked on sight by other non-monstrous race characters, regardless of whether they've earned some notability as a "good-one" through prior in-game achievement that not every PC or NPC may know about. .
I couldn't agree more, until I flip the coin over and look at the other side... The other side of that coin is that a non-monstrous race player should be by default "okay" with being attacked on sight by other monstrous race characters... You can't have one without the other... This is not an open pvp server, therefore open attacking is what it is!
However, if Layonara isn't meant to have much PvP, one has to wonder why monstrous-race PC's were ever allowed (especially with starting alignment requirements that put them in oposition to most other PC's), and why subsequently the PvP Widget was introduced. ."
That was directly as a refutation of what I was saying, in part:Your response was pretty clearly intended to say that one way you an Az'attan avoids Corathite assassins (and thus manages to live another day), is by using Divine Relation. So I'm not exactly sure how you can say you "did no such thing".
I'm not trying to beat you up here, Ed.
But if you're going to have that kind of a spell that cheap, then expect it to be used. Az'attan priestesses use it on people they're going to heal to make sure it isn't a Corathite assassin they're healing. And every Rofie seeing anyone suspicious at the gate will use it as well.
You take my reply to an example you gave, do not mention that example and then state I said they'd Divine Relation everyone to make sure they're not an assassin.
Sure, they are hard to anticipate, but an Az'attan wouldn't be as naive to just heal anyone without attempting to check the divine relation.
