"Under cover of Darkness" - the (un)official Hivemind Slash!

[Rystil Arden]

Dude, why is my sig three times as large as usual, or is it just me who sees this? (I didn't change it; it just grew)

 

[Kemrain]

Now I will use your Truename to get revenge for your vote against the noble Improved Initiative!

Sorry. I've already changed it. Your plan is thwarted. But, why the hating over II? I don't think it stands up to the others in usefulness, that's all. My current PC has Imp. Init. and Weapon Finesse, but I still voted II off. No big deal, Rysti. Calm down. And for cripe's sake, but the machetti away!

Except that this is a fantasy game...

- Kemrain the "Good ideas, though."

Oh, I misread that as d20 Future. How about a "Ye Olde UPS Delivery Person" and a "Ye Olde Rent-a-Cop"? No? I have to rethink it, then.

Dude, you have a sig?

In large cities, a member of the city watch might work. Obviously, the city has to be large enough that not every member of the watch knows each other.
Beggars or servants are the kind of people that are often overlooked, and might be useful forms for information gathering.

Don't forget travelling entertainers! Almost everyone likes them, and it makes perfect sense for them to to be unknown to the people, but they are still treated warmyl, even in small towns.

Looks normal to me. I remember your first sig... egad!

I think Jdvn1 would say something about ambiguity if someone referred to you as 'Man'

Good thoughts, but servants tend to be tied to a specific workplace, and as I'd only be there on occasion it wouldn't make a very good cover identity. The beggar one is interesting, but I'm not sure it's condusive to travel. Beggard seem to me to be fixed on a street corner, not traveling the land. And, if a begger shows up for a day, disapears for a month, and shows back up, repeatedly, people might start to actually pay attention.

The City watch idea is a really good one, and would be next on the list if it didn't require that I carry around 50+ pounds of armor. If the cities all had standardized police, this would be a wet dream, but alas, I'd need 3 or 4 different suits of armor... Not terribly feasable for someone with a 12 strength. I'll look into this, though. Surely even the Voushta guard, some of the most corrupt on the continent, has inspectors.

Agreed.

To me it looks like its written in "Super-You-Are-Legally-Blind-So-Let's-Make-it-Really-Big-So-You-Can-Read-it-Anyways" size.
