Well, the problem is some raiders attack them pretty much out of spite. No amount of hindrance would stop them.
And having to do quests to buy basic gear and talk to the local quest-master to get to your first quests is sort of malplaced.

I have a rather bold suggestion: Allow certain faction-based NPCs to trade XP for gold. The in-world rationale for this is that no faction would send untrained fools to a battlefield, getting in the way of the veterans. Better trained recruits give a higher chance of success. The IRL idea is to have...

Tell me this then, oh lowifier of players egos, if we are so worthless, why do the dragons bother to be in a city with us? And if they DO need us, they would make sure not to be too bastardish, as that would lead to revolts and escapes to other factions. Strictly speaking, showing their bellies to t...

I agree with the last statement. This would also explain why invaders even leave a conquered city. I mean, isn't war about conquest?!? If all are dead and the city in your hands, you'd post guards and such around and possess the city in full. These ideas would prevent that rather macabre fault in lo...

The title is "Possible Rewards for PK". I have added some suggestions of my own as a response to it.

Cheers, RumblingSky, for your entry. Well said. The most common, and silly, excuse against PK-limitations (there is a good suggestion for rules on this forum, I cannot recall the name of the entry) is that it is not realistic. But if realism is God, then why do the invaders of a city even leave? Sta...

Another option is to make such prestige levels dependable upon buying better-than-merchant equipment. The really heavy stuff would require high status and prestige indeed. This would make the quests more tempting, methinks.

If this should be implemented, I strongly suggest penalties for killing weaker characters. Otherwise newbies will never get anywhere and oldies will massacre newbies for the share gain. I can hear some voices raised against this: It is not realistic. Well, neither are dragons and magic swords, their...

What a positively silly post, Throst. We are not all in it for the power-playing, some of us LIKE quests and problem-solving. And those NPC's are there to help us become un-weak. It is a personal choice if you want to use them or not, but that you look down upon them does not mean that others should...

It is? I never get max healing when I take it, only the lower level healing spell-addition.

Fascinating thing is that so few think of the RPG EXPERIENCE in this thread. It might be very neat and realistic that the dragon eats your character too, wham bang make a new one no respawn... But is it FUN? What is forgotten is that we have limitied vision and sensory input as players, whereas the ...

After having tried many different characters in different factions, I have found one common flaw in all of them, and that is a players vulnerability to powerful character whim. As a new character, you are weak, poor and need the meager equipment you can buy. This is made very difficult, in some case...
