Law Talk
Hick Jr:
Hmm. Spiral has a point. And the Laws and how they're played are arguably the most divisive thing on the boards. I avoid Law threads like nuclear minefields because it's generally just rehashes of old opinions and arguments.
Sanctaphrax:
I don't really want to let this sink...I guess I'll report it to the mods and ask them to sticky or Resource it.
Deadmanwalking:
Ooh, stickied. cool.
Theonlyspiral:
So the Seventh Law.
We have a Character in our game that's hunting a specific outsider and his seven mortal servants. Last night she managed to get some information when one of his servants had a moment of lucidity and contacted her. She tried to start researching her opponents by talking to some people who might be in the know (Ghosts of her ancestors who fought, Athena, ancient library) and I warned that if she pushed any further it would be bordering on a Seventh Law violation. Go deep enough and it would be one for sure. I did tell her there was plenty of information available if she wanted, but she backed off. Now I feel justified in this warning but one of the players approached me after the game and informed me that a couple people were upset by it. Do you guys think this was out of line?
Deadmanwalking:
Personally? Yes. Assuming you meant giving her the Lawbreaker Power. You need to use magic in order to get Lawbreaker, that's abundantly clear in the rules. 'Mundane' research (including asking people questions) shouldn't get it for you any more than shooting or stabbing someone with a mundane weapon should get you Lawbreaker - First, or performing plastic surgery should get you Lawbreaker - Second.
Now, if you just meant the Wardens might get upset and come after her if they found out, that's another matter and much more reasonable. But...they might still think you meant the Power, so clarify.
