“While usually a frustration for Dungeon Masters (we call them Quest Masters) and players alike, murder hobos can commonly be found derailing carefully-constructed plot points, fighting unarmed villagers, or murdering key NPCs. While these characters can be frustrating to deal with, they are nearly inescapable. More than likely, everyone has played at a table with a murder hobo.
