Looting is an art for evils. Sure taking something at would prove useful to your character is one thing. A new breastplate, a shiny sword, ect. But taking something that really really hurts the other character is an act of pure evil. :twisted: Drow taking the house insignia of a recent kill (hearing tales of how they get new ones is quite entertaining), looting faith items and ransoming them back, or the orc and hair brush example. Its an art, grabbing the first thing that grabs your eye might not be the best choice for aiding you and hurting the enemy. Hehehe,

Enjoy,

Is there a rule about taking amulets of communications? Or more generally, items that you have the sole intention of selling? I think that is what made me upset in the first place, seeing so many amulets of communication for sale in Waterdeep.

As with horses, killing them is very much ic, and allowed is my guess, but killing horses Icly, comes with concequences Icly.

This is true.....often it gives you a shot at the owner as well in a short period of time. lol

Nothing that will send someone flying across the world in more of a frenzy that the words, "A black horse stops following you."

I need to step in here. While killing someone's mount is allowed, it must be accompanied by very good rp. It falls under our PKill rules and does not allow for looting of the entire corpse. Only one item. Also be OOC considerate of the real player. If a player has spent precious glory getting a rename for their mount, take that into account. Also, if a mount is in a non-coded stable (like those in/near Hartsvale), treat it as if it is stabled.

A question I have had for a while, could one go to killmode stun/spar etc, and knock the animal out, and just rp they killed it? I mean, would the animal recover as a pc does, or would it die anyway?

It would recover...

Personally, if someone killed my horse, especially the one I have renamed I would hunt them down and more than likely kill them in retribution.. without taking their corpse to a cleric..

It would piss me off something rotten basically..

Even if, in the spar/stun mode, you managed to sever a limb? Will 1. the animal not bleed to death? 2. can its limb be regrown by a priest like a pc's can?

I can see someone with a beloved pet/mount role playing asking/begging/paying a priest to regrow a lost limb for their beloved companion. Granted, it would probably have to be a pc priest I think, but is it doable?

Help killmode:
killmode stun: Non-Lethal combat, combat will occur without pauses
after each action. You will continue combat until one combatant is
stunned (unconcious) or flees. Limbs can not be severed and death
can not be caused by excessive damage to a vital area.

killmode spar: Non-Lethal combat, combat will occur with a pause
after a combatant does an action (a round). Limbs can not be severed
and death can not be caused by excessive damage to a vital area.
It was a great thought, the RP a pet's missing limbs, but sadly I don't belive its possible without risking death via Killmode Kill (or nofight)....
