If you are intimidated by the presence of ragers, that's your problem. As it is, I won't even attack a jacked/cold be sleep'd person...even if the person who put them to sleep says 'you take them'. Because that's weaseling around the tablet.

"Honorable" combat (and I never fully understood the nebulous rager-definition of the word so please no lectures on my stupidity) seems quite frankly to be a thing of the past. Or if not "honorable", "fair" or even more essentially, a "duel" so to speak.

Perhaps a little bit of all of these things.
