Sure, from time to time is fine. When you find that players stop coming to sessions because they are not enjoying the game then something is wrong. I for one have killed off other player characters when it was right to do so, but this should never become a game norm.
When player style is detrimental to the story then you have problems. Imagine if in Lord of the Rings Gandalf had killed Bilbo in the first chapter. He was certainly capable of it.

With in reason, a Humakti with healing magic is definitely a bit off base.

True, in fact the point was made by Greg that Honour is not a Humakti thing, it is an Orlanthi thing. A Humakti from outside of an Orlanthi society would be considered and could be completely dishonourable.

Sure, Humakt doesn't care. He just wants you to kill things. He also doesn't care if you die in the process. All he cares about is that things get killed.

For the most part a Humakti wouldn't care about being killed either, so he would probably not care if he got a reputation and was tracked down and killed. The only reason a Humakti wants to stay alive is so he can kill more things. But in game terms a player does want their character to survive and that goes for all players not just the Humakti.
