Elin:Karma
 | Some of the text on this page is from the Beta build of the game. |
Karma is a measure of the character's lawfulness. Various actions may increase or decrease karma.
At negative karma, the player is treated as a criminal, attacked on sight by guards, and many shopkeepers will not do business with you. This can be temporarily alleviated by casting incognito, either as a spell or from a scroll. Vendors in the thieves' guild reliably have scrolls of incognito in stock.
The only safe haven for a criminal is the town of Derphy.
