(I'm not sure if this question should be asked here or on the hw-rules list. My apologies if I've got it wrong.)

An Humakti's honour is very important to him; he won't act in a dishonourable manner. This means that he won't attack defeated, downed, or unprepared foes.

When a combatant is down to zero APs in combat, they're out of the fight. However, their opponent can take a parting shot to make the loser's defeat worse. Indeed, they can use a coup de grace to guarantee killing the loser.

Are such final actions honourable for Humakti? Will he use coups de grace? Will he take general parting shots? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

IMO, most humakti will happily kill with a coup de grace, as there is always the possibility of the foe coming back into the fight. However, I can imagine some of the more pious Humakti not doing this.

Neil.
