Sin 4 covers "Willful" murder (casual or premeditated), Sin 5 covers "Unwillful" murder (impassioned or accidental). The Road of Humanity, a slot having opened with the dropping of the tier 1 ancient world sins like kinslaying and violating xenia, splits murder into two tiers. The Way of the Man includes "Murder" as a single sin (unless you count kinslaying being one of the tier 1 atrocities). Besides the addition of "maintain human connections" requirements for the first two, I'm a bit proud in a historic sense of how they treat murder. I've got three versions, the Ancient World "Way of The Man", the Medieval "Road of Humanity", and modern Humanity. Someone upholding the Ethics of the Way of Heaven, or the Way of Kings will be upholding ethics that vastly more humans have upheld than have ever followed humanity.That's why I rewrote historic Humanity sins to be more based around maintaining human connections and your own sense of humanity, rather than a hierarchy of ethics that centralizes "intent". It all comes down to the fact that "humanity" is a post enlightenment ideology anachronistically written into the backstory of the setting.
