#20397, "(WANTED) edge ideas"
|
Being on the lam is cool guy: Knowing that being on the run from the law is the very essence of all that is cool, this guy receives a permanent bonus to his moral for maintaining his criminal status. Bonuses for mainting it a long time.
#### the police guy: This guy hates the police and all they represent (haters). He gets off on killing guards, tribunals, and people in protected cities. Moral bonuses for above (small/short for low level guards, medium/short for high level, long/medium for joe citizen, and long/big for johnny law.)
Sneaky/shady/cowardly criminal guy: Bonuses for escaping guards (fleeing). Mutually exclusive with #### the police guy.

There's an increased chance for manacles and bloody shackles to fail on you, especially (or only) from people in PK.
Tricky Dodger:
This edge is cumulative with and is similar to the Evasive edge, provided you aren't an Outlander and you are a thief, bard, assassin or elf/drow, you get bonuses to evading skills in cities. If you have this edge and become an Outlander, you lose it without reimbursement. This edge both makes sense for rogue types and helps because they are some of the classes that are harmed the most by other people's skills, especially command denial in the mob-assisted ganks but the inability to get a first strike in a variety of situations is also an argument for this.
Banditry:
Shopkeepers have a chance to do business with you based on your charisma and size. Intimidation is a factor here, though the LIST command will still always cause the shopkeeper to blow your cover, so this won't work forever but it's a good way for reknowned criminals to force shoppies to give them return potions and such on occasion. Since most of the shopkeepers track and are hero level, I don't see this being too big an issue because of the costs when it fails.

>Same deal for the "orderly gets bonus against criminals" edges >ORB suggested. Orderly != "Lawful". I've always thought >orderly meant methodical, organized, governed by some set of >internal rules. There's nothing to say an orderly person >couldn't be one of the worst criminals ever.
While I do agree with you that orderly does not mean lawful in all cases and more so I think that is exactly what was intended by changing the ethos options from lawful to orderly. I think in practice though it defaults to orderly = lawful unless a player makes a concerted effort to RP it otherwise.
This default is reinforced within the game when all members of the cabal that must enforce laws must be orderly and the members of the cabal that is most opposed to them must not be orderly.
