PvP Insight/Heads UP

Interesting. Also, is murder dependent on 350 C&D in all cases, or is it disallowed generally yet allowed during a TbC regardless of skill possession? I might have missed this clarification earlier, but it seems like, if murder restrictions are universal, that a TbC would typically result in a ransom/beating due to skill requirements?

So the scalps of murderers that can be turned in come from a ranger murdering the criminal or eye-for-an-eye?

There are two ways to murder. One having a the scent which is 'revenge' and one not having the scent which is 'murder'.

The scalps of murderers are only obtained by murdering the criminal indeed. Eye for an eye is less than lethal, so it wouldn't make much sense to have somebody walking around town without his scalp

I have a couple scalps of murderers will they be worthless after patch or can I turn them in.

Existing murder scalps will most likely be worthless towards the new system.

Not trying to beat this topic dead or anything, but just to clarify: A murderer that loses a TbC can either be perma-killed, scalp taken to be turned in, and 'ranger' leaves murder scent; eye-for-an-eye'd, left alive, but crippled, 'ranger' leaves no scent, but gets no reward (other than what victim might pay); or can pay a ransom to be left unaltered in anyway?

Interesting. I see that a "ranger" must leave a scent to justify the profession's cash-shop reward. I also see that you are creating a system where it is much more important to protect the sites of one's crimes, wherever possible. Is the coal-to-fire rate fixed, or are you still playing with it? A large enough base can easily have a functionally endless supply of coal. Frankly, you might consider requiring an alchemist to synthesize from coal a discrete brazier fuel, thus making defense planning a little more complicated than building two hundred coal clamps in a mine.

Pretty much yeah, but the ransom is optional to the attacker. He could deny the ransom offer.
