Trials - Executions

ROFL. That was mean, Damien ^^

Believe it or not all it takes is some effort to get a lesser conviction. Most of the time its "SCREW STYGIANS I HATE U GUYS FUCK YOU!" and then get sentanced to death. Harrison could of very easily overturned  his sentance if he made the effort in my opinion.



Also the reason for a lack of trials is a lack of players trying to be nobles. It isnt hard to become a noble so if you really want to see magistrates become a noble PC.

If you don't want a trial, ask for them to just get it over with.

If you want a trial, you should probably get it. I doubt many would agree, but I really, really wish that trials were made into a much bigger deal. I'd love to see/play an advocate for criminals on trial, or a prosecutor for the Count/Duke/Conclave, whatevs. I'm also a total geek over the law, for full disclosure.

Garemagistrate, fo sho.

The trouble I have always had with Trials in the Courtroom as a PC and DM is that it is something drawn out. I'd have 100% no problem if trials were involving PCs that the criminal knew well, coming forth to spew how vile and gloriously wicked he was, in a result of a lengthy conflict. Character witnesses crying about what he did to so and so related to them, how he ruined lives, and more to stroke a characters ego before the inevitable execution. A sense of impact made and otherwise.

Instead it's usually a bunch of stoned faced PCs never met gloating how awesome they were to catch him and how fucking fail he was as a human being for turning to crime.
