The Law is a trait in Streets of Rogue. With it, all Cops are Aligned and Supercops are Friendly to the character. However, you lose XP when you commit crimes against an innocent person. This includes robbery, murder, and so on.

Notes

• People who are innocent aren't distinguished in any way. But, people who are not are marked with [Guilty].

• Though you can lose XP, you cannot lose levels. So, you will be unable to lose XP once you hit the level threshold
• Player Supercops ignore this despite not having something that proves other than they got an ability.

XP Loss

The actions that cause XP loss are:

• Kill (Innocent): -40 XP. Kill any NPC that is not marked guilty.

• Indirect Kill (Indirect): -30 XP. Have a party member kill any NPC that is not marked guilty.

• Arrest (Innocent): -80 XP. Use Handcuffs on an NPC that is not marked guilty.
