[QUOTE="Scorponox, post: 5375139, member: 93144"] Alright, I got another question, and this one does not have anything to do with game mechanics, but here goes.... In my campaign, we have two new players. I wrote background stories for both of them, and gave them each something to work towards as a medium to long term goal. The first is a noble's servant's son. The noble is question is angry with the king, and has sent him into this area to see how many people would be open to the IDEA of separating from the current king and forming their own kingdom. The second of these guys is a pirate from a rival pirate fleet, that sees the current pirates making tons of money off drugs, and the captain wants in on the action. Her goal is to take care of the first player, and gather ingredients to make 10 servings of this new awesome drug. Anyways, there is a lot of mischief these two could probably end up getting into; treason, trafficking, etc. My question is, have any of you actually jailed a character before? If say, the first player isn't careful, and says something that could be construed as treason, then they would obviously have to go to jail. Instead of killing a character off outright, they could just go to jail. But then at that point, would the jailed character just roll up another character? How should a DM handle long sentences and jail time? Especially if it is just one character? [/QUOTE]
