hey all,
in my campaign, poison is an illegal substance. if you don't like this, don't reply.
however, a new player is completely hell-bent on getting his hands on some poison and not using any finesse about it, even though the other PCs have suggested he be a little more careful about such a thing. if he should he get caught, what's the penalty? imprisonment? being run out of town? branded?
have no problem with your choice... i use greyhawk
, its generally a no no... essentially evil but it does have its uses - some monsters... pests... vermin...etc...
let the crime fit the punishment... caught buying....making ... selling... using... all would have different penalties...
