Law Talk
Lavecki121:
I think there is also a differentiation between: "This person must die" and "I dont want to die"
Tedronai:
More relevant than the question of whether the deceased 'needed to die', I believe, is the question of whether the practitioner has the right to decide who needs to die. That, I believe, is much more likely key to the corruption of the soul.
Crazy Wilhelm:
Why not just incapacitate the target when you take them out and turn them over to the proper authorities?
blackstaff67:
Assume multiple targets that a) posses Inhuman Qualities and b) disdain for mortal authorities. Note that it's rather hard to merely incapacitate someone with Evocation given it's short duration. You're going to have to inflict damage to stop them, period.
Technically you can say, "I'm aiming to batter their legs to the point of uselessness" and then roll to hit. You can then (if you win) define taking them out as exactly that, but these folks aren't interested in meekly surrendering. We're looking at something/someone brainwashed into having most of Free Will removed; we talking "I hate these people to the point of fanaticism and I will not surrender to them" levels that we may face (rather like Denarian mortal cultists).
Mrmdubois:
Incapacitation is very possible with the narrative control that players share with the GM. It's pretty much impossible to be forced to or accidentally kill without Compels being involved. Which in game means that you never have to be in a position of taking Lawbreaker when you don't want to if you never push the boundary cases, like killing in self defense. The grey areas are grey because they're up for lots of individual interpretation and you wander into them at your peril.
