<Snipped quote by Zyx>

Pragmatists likely wouldn't suffer quite as much. Even Regret herself developed a degree of pragmatism about it over the centuries, having recognized that not everyone is in a position to make a decision beyond "kill or be killed." But unless the person is a psychopath, even pragmatists will feel mentally disturbed when they take a life, even one that deserves it. Their bond with Regret will amplify that a bit with the knowledge that, even if the Champion doesn't care so much about the life they've taken, their patron does, and grieving their patron is a difficult thing for them to swallow. So it'll still hurt. They'd have to strain the bond with Regret in order to reduce the load that places on their mind.
