Seems that unlike our legal/illegal setup, Islamic law has *five* levels: 1. Required (ie things you *must* do) 2. Recommended (things you *should* do) 3. Permitted (things you are *allowed* to do) 4. Discouraged (things you *shouldn't* do) 5. Forbidden (things you *must not* do) The levels of the actions on *both* sides of a case are compared. So if you were doing a "required" and the other person was doing a recommended, then odds are that they will be found at fault. The Beirce quote covers levels 5, 4, 2 and 1 in that order. :-) I leave it to the Evil GMs out there to consider the fun when the PCs run into that sort of legal system. -- Leonard Erickson (aka shadow) shadow at shadowgard dot com
