Meh. Even though your character "dies," no physical harm happens, so you aren't talking about a crime here, training would most likely be considered a tortuous offense. You are suffering harm in lost time/XP or whatever, but that can theoretically be made well with financial restitution.

So, under negligence, does the FD class have a duty of care to others or are they allowed to flop their mobs around w/o disregard? The restatement doesn't say anything about Everquest.

ETA: My whole point was that mens rea and actus rea aren't going to apply outside of the criminal scope and I don't think people are getting locked up fo EQ training yet.
Yeah, I was replying to the "if you spill your coffee while driving and kill someone you still go to jail" comment a couple of posts above.

I think intent should still apply to 'eq crimes' like training. Shit happens.
