I found that if you absorb the essence of a pyro roamer, it will explode in doing so, and the explosion hurts friendly characters without making them hostile or counting as a crime. Thus you can create a few pyroroamers and explode them together to kill off a friendly npc you have no further need to talk to to safely steal items nearby without any reprecussions. -------------------- Warning: Posts may contain misspellinks and typo.s Posts: 409 | Registered: Sunday, March 31 2002 08:00 |

Yes, that is the result. I'll say what I said in GF3: The townspeople never leave their valuables on display, so I don't see the point in looting them. They have nothing that good to steal, and you'd get better stuff if you did business with them. Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

If you are going to go so far, you might as well use one of the editors to get all the money you want. Killing random townspeople destroys your RP experience (unless you are intentionally RPing a homosidal maniac :) ) and blowing up friendly people by remotely absorbing pyroroamers is exploitation of a loophole in game mechanics. So if this is ok with you, you can save a lot of time by simply using an editor.
