bilbous for supremely evil dictator who will likely attampt mass genocide of one group or another...anyway..
or...character loses faction points with certain ppl associated with law, the lawful kill the character on sight, any enchantment with good alignment comes with penalties, hpwever thugs and thieves begin to be kinder to characters. and maybe even eventually implement bad guy HQs, for the crooked character...cause for now all they have is the DR and possible 1 or 2 other areas i have yet to explore. oh, and  for repeat offenders stuff like forced tattoing, negative enchantments etc.

Now this is a valid issue. However, and there are my thoughts here only, a character relying on the use of magic should accept that there are negatives as well as positives, in many magic systems the use of magic and magic items quite often has a negative aspect, so I would be prepared to accept that as simply being a consequence of relying on magic, and take it into account in my travels.

you have a valid point there. for instance, in Star ocean, when your dude/chick uses to much magic, they pass out from mental stress, and even though that's from casting them, there are in most cases positive and negatives to everything. for instance, getting drunk impairs your reaction, mining can make your rich, or dead, in truth the greater the reward the more pain is required to achieve it. the only ppl who don't understand this are ppl who's parents bought them everything when they were young, and when they learn the hard way, its much much tougher on them.

here's a holiday idea for the past-minded klyros...a day specifically set aside for the mass slaughtering of the klyros done by laanx! make it almost coincide with memorial day...it'd work flawlessly...unless laanx isn't the kinda of god to make amends for mass genocide of a people simply for not bowing to his/her arse......

theres a semi-racist bandit in oja....he's an npc blue kinda short and hates klyros...i was talking to him and i asked if i could help him and he said "so you want to be a hero do yah?" isaid yep...he said something about heros being rat fodder and i repeated the conversation and out of curiosity i said no...he replied by implying that cowardice is common among klyros...plus...klyros should literally despise the lernurs due to the fact that klyros were initially slaughtered en-masse by laanx and laanx created the little green bastar.......i mean really disrespectful jer.....people....

i'd have to say crystalized kran....because its at the bottom of a small pond, and there is no helping it....also my least favorite would have to be the infamous teleporting ulbernaut (before the new update you'd run, and it tele and kill you....

on the topic of dual wielding i think penalties should only apply in a rock-scissors-paper format. for instance, if a 2-handed weapons person fought a dual wielder, same level, the dual wielder'd have the advantage because they are quicker, hower if a duel wielder fought a sword-n-shield the sword and shield would have the advantage because thethey'd have better def. and more accurate attacks. if you havent noticed, in real life ppl fighting with 2 weapons have more finesse but also are more frantic, ppl with a single 2 handed weapon are more controlled yet have a low guard. ppl with a 1 hander w/ shield are controlled and have finesse. the big sword cuts the shield, the twinblades counter the bigsword, and the shield repulses the twinblades.

why not allow criminal skills to be trained by specific events and other players? like lets say your character is in a sewer, and th gm's feel that your character'd benefit from criminal activities...hows this for a scenario:
your in the sewers...your ambushed and held hostage (mistaken identity). your character is eventually given a choice: be lawful and escape, fighting your way out. or join the unsavory buggers.
