[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 5452150, member: 2093"] As far as Snafu's go - once you know WHERE it is likely the PCs will run into each target, or at least know where they'll be over a period of time, you can start thinking of things IN the environment that can cause trouble. If a victim is going to be traveling on the highway (whether by car or horsedrawn carriage) the weather could be an issue. Heavy rain, snow, sleet, or even just mud can all create interesting problems to getting into position in time. How about trying to off the target in his bedroom and finding out he shares it with a great dane? Or what if they're thinking the NPC is unskilled and unlikely to defend him/herself and turns out to be a master at some martial art? Or has a secret skill with small handguns? Or a really nice wand of charm? There's always the "mistaken identity" problem; they're given a photo/image of a target, and they mistake a relative/total stranger for the person. Or the person has one or more body doubles; the PCs may or may not realize it before they kill an innocent hireling. [/QUOTE]
