Well, let's see...The campaign I'm currently running has been going about a year and a quarter, slightly over 100 sessions, two interlinked parties, same players throughout except one came in partway along and another decided the game in general wasn't for her after about 2 sessions.In that time there's been:- at least 4 PCs intentionally and directly killed by the party,- nigh-countless instances of indirect attempted murder (usually via hanging a character out to dry against a superior foe or poor conditions, or by accidental-on-purpose friendly fire),- 2 PCs given over to slavery by the party,- nigh-countless in-party arguments that came to non-lethal blows.Keep in mind that, while their intentions may have at one time been pure, these are not exactly Good-aligned groups.And the same crew of players just keep coming back, laughing all the way. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Depends on the story.  In a situation where various secret organizations are trying to wipe each other out and-or establish their own agendas, and each PC may or may not be a member of at least one such (nobody knows who is allied with who), then the cloak-and-dagger stuff can quickly become more dagger than cloak.Corollary question: though it's nigh impossible in the more recent editions, in older editions it was quite possible to hide one's true class.  A Thief, for instance, could pretend to be an archer.  An Assassin could pretend to be a Fighter.  A Cleric could pretend to be whatever simply by hiding her faith.  What's your take on that?Lan-"I'm a Fighter pretending to be a Fighter"-efan</blockquote>
