[QUOTE="Henry, post: 437732, member: 158"] I used a serial killer of cowmaids once in an adventure - Dixon "Bloody" Manchester - used a hook to slay and hang his victims in barns across the countryside. The party cleric of Tyr took it personally upon himself to capture the criminal and take the reward money for his church. After judicious use of divination spells such as augury and divination, the cleric tracked down the region Manchester was in, laid down my campaign world's first sting operation, and fought a bloody hand-to-hand melee with the criminal ending in Manchester's arrest, and trial for mass murder. I always planned an adventure involving Manchester's revenant, hunting revenge on the cleric, but the campaign closed before we got that far. --------- As for using serial killer types, the best thing as with any plot elements, is to use it sparingly. Spring no more than two serial killers in the campaign's life. After all, the name of the game is D&D, not CSI. :) [/QUOTE]
