[QUOTE="cnath.rm, post: 169527, member: 1305"] [b]Begger Mobs[/b] The perfect example of someone using a "loophole" and then having it come back to haunt them would be the KoDT Begger Mob strip if any of you remember it offhand. The short version (as I remember it at least) the players had a history of attacking beggers in towns they went through. The GM was ticked about this and the following sollution was proposed to him. In one point a book stated that a mob of people all attacking one target could "overbear" them and capture them. No attack role, no save. In another point it listed that 10 (or maybe it was 20) beggers made up a mob. So when they next mistreated a begger, the other beggers in the city rose up against them, captured them, and branded them with runes of shame before kicking them out of the city dressed in rags. (of course the players then used the same rule combo by paying begger mobs to overbear anything and everything in the next dungeon.) As is said by others, YMMV, it came to mind and I felt like sharing. Best of luck to you man, I've been in games like that and it's just not fun after awhile. The DM/GM/etc starts upping the power level to deal with the "uber" pc and then the normal ones get hosed in the crossfire. -cnath [/QUOTE]
