There is a PK rule, the 'PK rules' in the guide literally only tell you what to do if you kill a player. Not the dos and don'ts. which is the main reason why I'm miffed.

I just re-read the rules and this popped up.

By this sentence alone, it allows what happened to transpire. I agree its frustrating but until the rules are adjusted you just need to be weary of who you RP with. Like I said its a super bummer, but until the rules are adjusted to properly address the underlying issue it can only be considered an unfortunate event.

Yea, the rules are really the issue, and it's -way- too easy to one shot people. Even if they're uninjured. When Dom died, he was at full health. All of these encounters probably would have gone very differently had the system been designed to create combat, rather than just one shots. Even the boss fights can't go much longer than 2 rounds cause people start running out of energy.
