Well, unfortunately at this point, the err... Point gets a little muddled... Billy and the Alphas are a definate no on the kill list, but thats already been mentioned...
But maybe... And I don't know, I COULD be going outa the water on this.. Maybe, while the White Council may not bat an eyelash at killing most White Court Vampires, you also wouldn't have to normally worry about the lawbreaker stunt... But if you were to kill someone like Thomas, who has a positive refresh, and attempts to keep a hold on his hunger, THAT would be breaking the First Law.. The Council may not do anything about it, but you might still walk away from the encounter with a Lawbreaker Stunt...
Maybe it could follow along the idea, that if a "creature" that could be considered fairly alien still has a positive refresh, it may fall under lawbreaker territory?
That is awfully complicated.
Who is to say that Lara Raith is not a positive refresh? If Thomas could do it, so could she.
I mean, what if you meet one ghoul who tries to be a good... person, an that makes you wonder if every ghoul might not be?
I think that since magic comes from what you believe, second guessing whether it's right to kill something or not based on what decisions they've made instead of their nature is a slippery slope to carebear-land.
I mean, it's a great roleplaying opportunity, but my character is a war hardened x soldier. He can and has disassociated himself from vanilla mortals enough to kill them. I doubt he'd have second thoughts about blasting a werewolf of any sort.
My question is if you think it's right, would that be a lawbreaker stunt? I don't think so.
The more we talk about the subject, the more I think that anyone who does not have that extra 2 points of refresh is fair game as long as the PC believes it's justified.
Perhaps Harry got the lawbreaker stunt for killing a wizard because it was a wizard (like him)
and someone he knew and raised him for a time.
There's a big difference between killing a stranger in self defense and killing a family member.
