But part of the fun of x-fire is that you and a friend can go around
beating the hell out of each other.  Killing people is not tolerated in
society but it still happens.  I think just saying you can't do that takes
some of the fun out.  How about the idea that you can not harm a character
X levels below you?  That way, if players decide to go after each other,
they'll be more evenly matched.
