[QUOTE="Allegro, post: 3346583, member: 38814"] The bard spell Modify Memory can be particularly useful with the secret police. Implant the memory of being betrayed by a love one. Or implant a memory of cracking under torture and telling the police everything; then have the police torture the victim and demand the victim reaffirm everything they said. Another option is to compel people to find subversive activity with a geas, “find a neighbor engaged in subversive behavior and report it to me”. I’m pretty sure the reason bards are required not to be lawful is if they were organized they would rule the world Another way to enforce tyranny is to require every item worth more then 10 gold to have an official seal. Items worth more gold could have arcane marks associated with them to prevent forging. All citizens can be searched at any time by the police and offending items can be confiscated. [/QUOTE]
