[QUOTE="WizO_Siani, post: 2565172"] [b]Criminal Code of Greyhawk[/b] Hiya gang. Herein I am including the Criminal Code of Greyhawk. This code applies not only to the city itself, but to its Domain as well. Before anyone panics, this is being put up here for your enjoyment and information. If you lawful types, patron or host, want to play off of these, fine. If not, that is fine too. Keep in mind that all patrons are entitled to the Freedom of Destiny Act. Some of these cannot, of course, be implemented at all. Major offenses in Greyhawk are tried by a Judge of Greyhawk, one of eight such judges selected by the Directors. Three Judges might sit in judgement of a major crime, but two of them may be objected to and substituted. Once. Convictions may be appealed (once) if the judge permits, which always occurs with a capital crime. The appeal is heard by three Judges, often including the Lord Mayor, Nerof Gasgal. Minor crimes are tried by magistrates from the Guild of Lawyers, or Inquisitors. One magistrate of Inquisitor to a case. Appeals are very rare and available only from the Lord Mayor of the city. Punishments range from Hard Labor for two weeks to two years, with fines of 1-20% if the convicted persons' worth up to 1,000 gold orbs. Victims must be "people", which are considered to be humans and demihumans of all sorts. Monsters such as Mind Flayers, Dopplegangers, or Lizard Men are not considered people. Humanoids have very limited civil rights in Greyhawk, the limits of which depend on each judge. Manufactured creatures such as golems and minor undead are always considered property. This is divided into three sections; Major Crimes, Minor Crimes, and Sentences. Each crime will have the number of the sentences appropriate to it in parentheses. Here we go. [B]Major Crimes[/B] Arson (1,5-7) Assault, grievous (3,6-11) Banned religious worship (1,2,4,9) Blackmail (1-2,4-10) Bribery of Official (5-11) Burglary (3,7-11) Burglary of/damage to property (3,6-11) Counterfeiting Greyhawk Coinage (3,5-9) Embezzling (2, 4-10) Fraud, including lying to the Watch (2,4-10) Genocide (1) Impersonation of Offficals (7-11) Importation of dangerous creatures or controlled items (2,9) Incitement to Riot (2,6-9) Magical interference with the integrity of a person (2,3) Manslaughter (2,5-8) Mass murder (1) Murder (1,4) Perjury (6-10) Possession of an unlicensed monster (10) Rioting and affray (2,7-11) Robbery (3,7-11) Sedition (1-5) Slavery or procurement of slaves (1-4) Tax Evasion of 50+ orbs (10-11) Tomb Robbing (2,6-11) Treason (1) Vandalism (8-11) [B]Sentences for Major Crimes[/B] 1) Death 2) Permanent Exile and banishment 3) Mutilation 4) Hard labor for life 5) Hard labor 11-21 years.
