So, say I'm doing this:
Quote:
You slice the Queen's personal guard's chest. The Queen's personal guard falls on his knees and collapses.
The Queen's personal guard is DEAD!!
You hear the Queen's personal guard's death cry.
You get 4 gold coins from a corpse of the Queen's personal guard.
You get a single silver coin from a corpse of the Queen's personal guard.
You get 2 copper coins from a corpse of the Queen's personal guard.
You junk a corpse of the Queen's personal guard.
Just keep it all.

[ 33%] [100%] [ 52%] [2 platinum, 1 gold, 6 silver, 6 copper]
You junk everything in the room.

[ 33%] [100%] [ 52%] [2 platinum, 1 gold, 6 silver, 6 copper]

An Everclear villager walks west.

I just committed a crime, and this villager is walking off to to throw my [REDACTED] in jail for the second time in an hour. It would be rather nifty if, instead, this happened.

An Everclear villager gasps in shock!
An Everclear villager exclaims 'By the gods! You just murdered a Queen's personal guard!'
An Everclear villager exclaims 'I should let the judge know right away!'

[ 33%] [100%] [ 52%] [2 platinum, 1 gold, 6 silver, 6 copper]

An Everclear villager walks west.

The villager's first exclamation would change to fit the crime at hand "You just <crime> <a NPC>!". Overall, it's a slight cosmetic change, but it makes a big difference, to help know if you're in trouble or not. Plus, it feels a little more atmospheric.

Good? Bad? Wouldn't be too hard to do, right?

For some reason I rather like this idea.

Roleplay demands that we treat mobiles like other pcs, not [REDACTED].

I guess I've got a case of the dumb, how exactly would this violate that?

You just stuck a sword in someone's belly and you want me, the unarmed, unarmored, farmer or tailor to stand up and attack the guy who just killed the trained guard? Uh no, tyvm, I'm going to run to the cops.

Or more precisely, very quietly sneak away and report you from a safe distance, before you start looking around for someone else to murder in cold blood.

That'd be where your case of the stupids is rooted, Salandarin. Well, this one anyways.

You grin evilly.


Yeah.... just a bad idea. If anything, it would make more sense if they were altered to speed run. :devil:

By assuming that someone who just witnessed a murder in their village would stick around the murderer for -any- decent period of time without A)Peeing their pants or B) passing out, then yeah, you're pretty much calling them [REDACTED].

I would like to see you get into Queen Serena's chamber and then take on her 5 or so GM guards, It was only done with and IMM's help.

Eusd... that to me sounds like you just issued a challenge and now you have placed her royal highness in mortal danger.
