Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-37449770-20181125231349/@comment-36855838-20181126061025

There's plenty you can do to ruin somebody without killing them or drawing much blood.

Humans are actually surprisingly durable in real life, so mamono are believably very, very durable.

Blindings, fractures, paralysis, poisonings, and illness can all create as much or more drama and urgency as death.

And if killing mamono is integral to your character, just try to make any deaths happen "offscreen."

That is to say, don't bring your narrative to the scene of any deaths, give it a more domestic setting such as the fort your bloodied warriors come home to.

Examine the effects of being a soldier rather than the events of combat.

As a more appropriate analogy for what KK wants of this world he's created, he's basically enfrced a world exactly like a young adult fantasy novel (e.g. Eragon) but with less violence and a focus on sex.

(And while that may be blatantly obvious to some, I find it ogften helps to state the 'obvious')
