She isn't able.  That's the whole point.

But what is bothering you is that this repercussion is not "dying in the
hands of your character".

If your banker character is not losing honour nor prestige for plain mean
lying, then neither should mine for refusing to duel against her brother.

My character believes running from a duel is even more dishonourable than
rejecting it in the first place.

And a few points of prestige/honour is not a big thing, but if you add that
to being a failed rebel leader, and joining a new realm, well... they add up

And people cannot insult whoever they choose without consequence, neither in
the game nor in real life.  As I said, your problem is that it's not the

I am sorry that you dislike having to play a noble.



If I disliked playing a noble, I wouldn't be playing Battlemaster.  I like
