Case and point. Two silver daily wage is the same amount of money you gain from a level 1 Earn Income task; people make that much serving tea in a teahouse. If someone tried offering me that kind of money to get into an active battle situation I'd know they didn't have my best interests at heart and would walk in the opposite direction as quickly as possible.

Even if it's only to tend to the camp/mounts outside the dungeon/evil wizard secret hideout, it would need to be higher, as brigands might be roaming, or local wildlife could be at a level they're not to be triffled with.

"What? You want me to wait for you outside the Lich Tower for only 5sp? You *are* aware that we've encoutered roaming undead a feu times already, right?!"

... could be an interesting job for lower levels pcs... their patrons get the Great stuff (way overleveled for the pcs) and "throw away" the older stuff (level appropriate to the pcs) as "hand-me-downs" or as "payment for protecting the horses & base camp from marauding monsters" that the pcs slew, after having to build a defensive position or whatnot...

they could be apprentices, simple man-at-arm payed to "cleanup" the "small fry", etc, effectively giving all pcs mentors..e

[...] there are obviously some story-crazy combos out there which the GM simply may not want in their campaign. You want to play a Leshy with Dhampir heritage and call him Chucky, you gotta get GM permission. :O

Wouldn't that rather be a Poppet with Dhampire heritage that's calling itself Chucky?

The Leshy Dhampire calls itself "Audrey II"...

I'm sorry. The designers to have to write down that you can not use a character ability you have control over unless it's something like rage. You don't have to sneak attack if you don't want to. It's not like your rogue is mindlessly sneak attacking because they have no control over it.

Tabletop RPGs are not mindless games where the characters execute their abilities because they have them with no control.

If the rogue doesn't want to sneak attack and hit the vitals, they don't have to. I don't need the designers to write that down for me. Sneak Attack has always been optional.

900% Agree

After all, we do not play like: "It's not written anywhere that you 'must not be a murder hobo', so now your character HAS to shank every NPCs and steal their gear/cash."
