Carcass has good points regarding the punishment of crimes. With a PC needing to be 9th level to be enslaved by another PC, it would require a DM to be present for sentencing. This makes it difficult for a PC legionnaire or RW to set down a sentence of enslavement. Granted, a legionnaire can lock them in a cell at the Citadel of Corrections til a DM was available, which raises other questions. Can a stone be used inside the Citadel of Corrections? Would the offender need to be taken out with subdual damage and his pack emptied of weapons and stones before he was tossed in a cell? Would the PC playing the offender make himself available for sentencing when a DM was available and would they wish to continue playing the slave or retire him and start a new PC?
As for the death sentence, Carcass is right, they just respawn and carry on, now with a grudge toward the one who killed them and cost them xp and notoriety. If death is going to be a punishment for crimes, the death should be permanent. This, again, would require a DM to accomplish.
With both punishments, which I agree from source material are the punishments of Thay, there is going to be difficulty carrying them out. Also, regardless of whether the laws are posted or not, there will always be the player who will whine over it and not accept the fact they RPed their character to death... or enslavement. We had death as a punishment for heinous crimes on my other server. ONE player took it in stride and accepted he PRed himself to death and was a good sport about it. The others who found themselves in situations where death would have been the punishment, either by the authorities or the the more powerful PC they offended, threw childish little hissy fits over it and refused to accept they screwed themselves.
