--- Quote from: ---Characters can also stumble across the
Seventh Law, thanks to the particulars of its
wording: namely, the prohibition against even
researching the Outside. A GM looking to put a
particularly nasty choice in front of her players
could easily “hide” a piece of knowledge within a
forbidden tome of Outsider lore. And if a life is
on the line, isn’t it worth the risk? (The Outsiders
of your game would certainly hope so.

Tedronai:
I reject any premise that labels (cosmic truth) Lawbreaker any who so much as types 'What is an Outsider?' into a google search.
The Wardens may enforce as they will, but that interpretation on the cosmic truth of the 7th Law leads only to absurdity.

Seconded. I'd have to rule that trying to establish contact with them would justify a Cosmic lawbreaker while merely researching them would 'merely' draw Warden interest (were they to find out).
Theonlyspiral:
Here's a second law question: We have a character in our game who is an alchemist. Now, normally the transforming of another comes with lawbreaker...but if they asked you to transform them, would you still stick the character with the stunt?
Hypothetical: Our intrepid alchemist is kidnapped by a ghoul who wants to be immortal. The Alchemist creates a drought with enough shifts to take him out...fluffed in game as transmuting him to Gold. Would this break the second law?
Tedronai:
I don't recall that law's stance on non-humans, but the fact that the target is willing does not get you a pass.
