[QUOTE="knottyprof, post: 6175161, member: 6715607"] Can't believe this thread is still going. The problem with capturing and enslaving PCs (even for the sake of the story) is that players will feel rail-roaded into a situation that they do not want to be in. Slavery works when you can control the slave population (not that I condone it but just the logical outcome when such a means is used in a society). If there are slaves that are potential threats (such as spell casters or powerful and experienced warriors) you either need to entice them to maintain their slavery with bribes and/or threats. Plus individuals with special abilities will be used to their full potential and unlikely to be kept with the common chattel. So if a spell caster is taken as a slave the likelyhood of them remaining with the group is very slim and the slavers would likely either just dispose of him or give him to someone not likely to feel threatened (such as a higher level spell caster) and said spell-casting slave would likely be monitored very closely.
