There has been a lot of interest in murdering using a character with an Evil trait. There are three rules for murder and surviving it.
- If the Evil character spotted his/her lover having H with someone, one or both characters may be marked for death.
- Evil characters never break up with their lovers. As Hate points grow, they attempt to kill instead.
- An Evil character with the Lucky trait will likely avoid an arrest. A victim with the Lucky trait will likely survive. If both characters have the Lucky trait, it will cancel each other out, so the Evil character gets arrested and the victim gets killed as usual.
The key point of murder is to set a death flag by accumulating Hate points. The chance and kill priority get higher by the amount of Hate points. Once an Evil NPC leaves a death mark on the character(check in Jizou statue), the murder is set to happen, but it can be avoided in several ways.
- The relationship between the victim and the killer is improved.
- The murder can also be avoided if the killer is distracted by something: for example, a new love affair.
- It can also be avoided by making the killer the PC, but danger will return when the killer is no longer the PC.
- Checking "Disable Violent actions" in config will prevent any killing but the evil characters will still mark others for death. They just won't actually do it.
- By itself, setting the Hate/dislike modifications in Config at 0 is not enough to stop an Evil character from committing murder. However, it can eventually cool off the situation while you use 1, 2 and/or 3 above.
Note that in larger classes killing someone will be harder due to the number of people interrupting the killer.
Kill NPC using Evil PC
To kill your lover, accumulate enough Hate points to set a death flag and switch to another character. The former PC will eventually kill the lover at some point.
To kill NPCs around the lover, spot their cheating to set a death flag, build Hate points on the target and switch the character.
Kill NPC using Evil NPC
Set a death flag by making Evil NPC close enough to be a lover with the target, and let them get into Hate relationship. The way of establishing relationship is up to you.
Switching to the character and playing the role might be the easiest; but according to players, the fun point is scheming the whole scene behind.
