* ''VideoGame/DivineDivinity'' doesn't let you kill children intentionally, because if you click one while in combat mode you'll inevitably get a prompt where all options read "Sheath weapons", unlike with adults. There are still a few ways around that, like the spell "Seeking Flame" which flies slowly toward the target area and then explodes, damaging anyone around it unless they are FriendlyFireproof, which is applied only for very few characters. Children killed don't leave corpses behind however, they just turn into a fountain of blood.
