Does this make sense to anyone? Totally befuddles me.

It might have some logic behind it, but wasn't completely implemented. When you kill someone out of the blue, that's pretty bad. Everyone else after that is still bad, but generally those people are trying to kill you so it's partial self defense? Doesn't seem completely thought out.

That's better than any explanation I can think of. I'm not inclined to accepting leaving it like that, though.

1) The fact that it has to be a one shot kill. If it takes you two swings, then you don't get the extra hits. That's just messed up. Why should that matter?

2) I think if you kill someone, and other people nearby attack you as a result, I have a -real- hard time describing this as self-defense. If anyone's got a right to call it self-defense, it's the people attacking you who have pretty good reason to believe you're a psychopath and will probably attack them next.

3) You can always run away. If you actually stick around to finish off the witnesses, or the cops, I'd say that counts as murder as well, heh.

Aren't modrons in the Sensorium oposed to the Rubicon dwellers behavin' more in a socially acceptable manner thus makin' tham more of NPCs than lootbags?

I think I understand now. I'm not talking about the Low, Medium and High Level Constructs in Rubikon. I'm talking about the small handful of modrons and modron engineers in the area where you first appear when you use the cube. Those modrons all have dialogue, they are peaceful in all circumstances unless you initiate attack, and I don't see them as substantially different from the ones in the brothel. Do you? Or did you think I meant the constructs?

lease make things a little bit clearer,? what hits, if any, you get for killin' thugs in the Alley, brainwermin and say demons n' shadows?

Not sure what you mean by "brainwermin", but for all the rest, I'm not planning on adding any alignment hits for them. Generally if a creature is hostile to begin with, or if they threaten you such that you can make a reasonable claim that killing them is self-defense, I don't plan on adding any hits.
