All my ideas are terrible, and also I am drunk. by The Happiness Engine 10/08/2013, 6:48pm PDT
So say every region had a defined body of law, this is just a background set of buffs/debuffs that come with being on that square, then the lawyer could influence that? This seems like a really powerful core mechanic, but as a terrible idea, if you were in the trailer-park then the % chance for a neighbor to call the cops would be a minus instead of plus. The whole class power could be that, but that sounds like a lot of work.

What if a Lawyer influenced all non-combat interactions? In America "My Lawyer" is pretty much the immature adult's equivalent to "My Dad", a simple appeal to power. The Lawyer is pretty useless in combat but provides bonuses in all speech and barter and new dialogue and quest options and is maybe only new game+ material. "Play the game again with one less dude and see exciting new vistas!"

I second the buff/debuff/control idea, but the humor there comes from a lot of learning law terms so you can make the effect humorous to the situation. Sounds like work.
