Again I still think this is probably an issue for the GM just interested what other GMs would do.

All I meant was you need to not confuse breaking the Accords with breaking the Laws of Magic. Different things. It looked like some posters might have been getting them confused.

It's only if you know it's probably gonna that you get Lawbreaker. Lethal Wards on someone else's home as a booby trap? Lawbreaker territory.

The other option in this whole debate is a purely consequentialist reading for First Law, with exceptions /possibly/ being granted as an executive pardon not a juristical conclusion.
I think that might actually work better for an RPG, and it allows formal duels to have structure as part of executive power and the a priori granting of pardons.

Personally, I'm arguing metaphysics, not law. I'm arguing what twists your soul and grants Lawbreaker, not what the Wardens will prosecute.

I got that.
My point here being that the other possible reading is that everyone is metaphysically contaminated, and the gray Warden cloaks stand as symbol of that.

Oh, probably. In a philosophical sense nobody's pure. But there's still a difference between gray and black, which the Laws (as portrayed in both the books and game rules) help to distinguish between.
