Notes

  • Lawfulness cannot exceed 255 or fall below 0.
  • Failed actions still carry penalties based on intent.
  • Lawfulness naturally trends toward neutral (127–128) over time if no new offenses are committed.
  • Severe or repeated offenses may trigger regional alerts, bounties, or denied access to services.
