Under Debate: Enable bounties for Scroll of Accident

[Lefanis]

Name: Enable bounties for Scroll of Accident

Summary:
Bounties are currently gainable in three ways- seriously wounding someone on the battlefield, or to an infiltrator that successfully seriously wounds a character, or through a duel. I would like to propose an additional way, using the scroll of accident- I would have assumed this was already the case.

Details:
The spellcaster that successfully uses the scroll of accident on a character with a bounty, seriously wounding them, gains the bounty on their head- It makes sense that the character that wounds them gain the bounty from the person that put it up.

Benefits:

• Increases the incentive to post bounties
• Congruence with other parts of the game- dealing serious wounds grants bounties in battles, duels, and through assassinations
• Gives the caster an incentive to target high value targets
• Creates a market for scrolls of accident

Downsides:
It creates a market for scrolls of accident- Both a benefit and a downside IMO. However, I think they are rare enough to prevent abuse.

Maybe bounties aught to expire and refund the cash. There are surely bounties in existence from years ago. A standing cash prize for their wounding probably isn't the intention of the person putting the bounty up.

Giving a time limit would put some urgency and timeliness to it.

Sorry, no refunds.

Even if we were to put a time limit on bounties, the money would just go "poof".

I can agree to the suggestion of gaining the bounty if the scroll seriously wounds the person.
