I have a quick question... Is there a way, other than a PC empath, or a death to get rid of infection? As I see it, I'm pretty sure there won't be too many empaths jumping to take a necro's infection, and currently to my knowledge, there is no NPC empath that will take it either. So how would a necro get rid of gangrene?

Suffer, mostly. Necromancers will have no direct way to heal disease (or poison, or anything else), though if you stop and think about how diseases work, you might be able to come up with something creative with the tools that have been described.

Past a certain point, Empaths simply cannot heal Necromancers no matter how anti-authoritarian they're being.
The necromantic corruption of the Necromancer's body is antithetical to Empathy. You can push through that for awhile, but there reaches a point where linking to that... thing would just shock the heck out of you if you didn't recoil instead.

will that be something that is circle-determined <the circle of the necromancer> or skill-determined?

So Necro's can be auto outed through no action of their own when an empath can't heal their wounds. That won't abused at all.
So if an non-necro can be accused can they be found guilty? If so, do the same things happen to the wrongly accused? forced to open, social outrage, all that jazz? What's the accusation cooldown? How much money do we get for accusations? I'm deciding if creating a necro will be profitable to my main character.

Poor necromancers are going to have such a hard time teaching their little outcast wilderness classes.

Dragging shouldn't be flat-out avoidable, it should be a stat contest. If you have your avoid flag up, you always try to resist. If you don't have an avoid flag, you don't resist.
Oh well, won't happen. :\

it should also have a test based on how much you're carrying too. an elf shouldn't be able to drag around a tog carrying 3 sets of HP, 2 bundles and 5 greatswords and 10 mauls in his pack.

okay, so then if its that <<if you're going to cast spells that make the gods mad!>> - predicated on divine outrage --- then may we presume that "redeemed" necromancers will still be healable by empaths?

I choose to take those comments in the nicest way possible.
To that end, Z and I have made some adjustments to how the monetary award works.
1: It will be drawn from the target's bank account, rather than debted to the target.
2: Choice of accounts will prefer the accuser's current province.
3: If local accounts are empty, any account to cover the value of the target's accusation can be accessed.
4: If the target has no account with that value, you will get his single largest account instead.
5: If the target has nothing in the bank, you get nothing.

for the whole accuse thing... gotta ask now so that it will be taken care of down the road .. will there be a way for a necromancer character to still attend pay-for fests? Because of the nature of the "gift" this year, if you wanted the benefit, you had to attend as that character.
So will briefly stepping into town to get to the festival grounds be possible, or will they put some entrances outside towns so you can still get there without stepping into a justice area?
I know theres stuff they had in the shops that I woulda wanted to buy for my nec-to-be had i attended this year in prime but wasn't able to do both instances.

>>Some other ideas...
Not willing to do any payout options that necessitate waiting for the Necromancer to be arrested, since the point of the change is to make sure that the reward money is always something existent in the Necromancer's ownership rather than a future debt that can be exploited by never paying it.
Anti-duping exploit first, screwing with the Necromancer second.

From the looks of it, there would be little reason for a perverse necromancer to have much money anyways. Their nature is such that they are removed from society. It would behoove them to carry only the essentials and be able to forage for healing herbs. I imagine people would have no qualms in grave-robbing a perverse necromancer either and so being able to tan your own armor and not carrying anything you mind losing would also help.

Still wondering though, is it actually possible for non-necros to be convicted of Necromancy?
