[QUOTE="Werebat, post: 6526490, member: 40158"] "No matter where you go, people are afraid of you due to your reputation. When you are in a civilized settlement, you can get away with minor criminal offenses, such as refusing to pay for food at a tavern or breaking down doors at a local shop, since most people will not report your activities to the authorities." Is it just me, or is this variant just begging players to play total douchebag characters? What's to stop them from running around smashing every shop window in town for the fun of it? It says right there in print that they can get away with it! "I NEVER pay for food! I just walk into the inn and TAKE some!" "I kick in every door in the town!" "Does this town have a well? That's my new toilet!" Regardless of what it says in the text, people who act like this -- even really imposing ones who most folks won't challenge -- are going to end up on the wrong side of the law eventually. But the text doesn't say that they get three actions like this per day, or ten, or twenty. It implies that there are NEVER any consequences for the character so long as they keep their offenses to "minor" ones (whatever that means), because no one will ever report them to the authorities. Would it be unreasonable to rule that someone WOULD report the Donny the Grass Ogre to the authorities if they engaged in so much douchebaggery in a short period of time that they wouldn't reasonably be able to figure out which victim reported them?
