Duels between mortal Practitioners and the Law of Magic

KOFFEYKID:
Whats interesting is you can burn down a building, provided you think that its empty. It could be full of people, and as long as you didn't think there where people in it, you would not get a lawbreaker.

On the other hand, if you know there are people in it, and accidentally set fire to said building, lawbreakers all around.

Yep. Well, on the first one at least. The second might not net you Lawbreaker if you immediately try your hardest to rescue them (yeah, even if you fail I might give you props for trying). It's all about intent, at least IMO.

KOFFEYKID:
Hmmm, if you play an Insane wizard who believes everybody is a monster of some kind or another, you could conceivably avoid almost every lawbreaker.

Anyone that crazy I'd just give the Lawbreaker stunts to automatically to reflect the nature of their insanity.

this came up in another thread. Iago said and this is one of the times i agree with him, that if you a use magic, and b kill a human you get the stunt regardless of your intent.
However they are intended to be interpreted differently in each persons games so really whatever your st says.
