Ooohh...This would implement a bounty hunting system real well. Like I said, if you steal small time, then you don\'t really hav to worry as much, but mass murder should be punishable by skill loss. If it seems to harsh, maybe they should pick up a legal career. Half the thrill of thieving is the possiblity of getting caught. The other half is the great mounds of gold. Penalties make for longer gameplay. You lose skill, you get to play more and raise it again. It\'s a rotten skill, but its fun (for the thief at least).

Dransik has a system which Im sure Aelya is quite familiar with, you can either attempt to escape,
wait out your time, or move rocks to lower your sentence.
Now the idea of staring at a screen while your character contemplates what he/she did wrong is ludicrous.
If PS was going to be pvp then I could see making a pker sit in a cell and rot for a few hours. But since it\'s not then the punishment shouldnt be so harsh.
I think the karma system could be good,
The goodie 2 shoes get discounts from npc\'s
The evil people get inflated prices or refusal to buy from/sell to them all together ( at least from the good npc\'s)
Nuetral people would basically be able to utilize all npc\'s at a reasonable rate. I suppose thats the only benifit.
Perhaps there are only some Items available for purchase to those who are Evil, Good , or nuetral respectively.

Somewhere in this forum someone asked what the benifit was of being nuetral.
Well it could be that people being Nuetral would be able to use items of good and evil, while the players leaning to one side of the moral scale or another would not be able to use items on the opposite end of the spectrum.
While nuetral people would be able to use most items good, and evil they should not be able to use the strongest items, ie the angelic sword of super goodness, or the human skin armor of evilness.
Instead they could have uber items of their very own.
The ballancing ring of nuetrality and equalization.

Lets hear some feedback please

That would work. Plus, they could barter fairly well with evil or good traders. Maybe, they could even get bonuses for staying in a \"grey zone\". This zone reffers to being unbiased. Perhaps if you stay in this \"grey zone\" you get bonuses for spying skills and/or perhaps diplomacy skills?

anyone thought about the victims yet?  :rolleyes:

i think that if a thieve tries to steal my purse, I\'ll ATLEAST chop his hand of :)
I dont think i should get bountied for that right. And if he really attacks me i would want to kill him and collect the bounty (maybe present his scalp to the friendly neighbourhood riot offfcer :) )

In just about about all RPG\'s I\'ve played, if someone steals from you, you retain the right to tottally thrash him. It should be the same here. I hope so at least.
