Everything you need to survive the streets, explained short and clear.
The Dossier. Part two of the handbook. One card per feature, written as the file the police keep on you, or the file the family keeps on the city. This is where the exact rules and formulas live. Every number comes straight from the game.
How does a murder work?
A murder is permanent death. You need to be rank Underboss and stand in the same city. You search by exact player name. How many ranks the target sits below you does not matter. Your own family is off limits. Newbie protection applies here too. You can't murder someone who is travelling or in another city. The attempt costs $1,000,000 and 120 energy. Then you wait 18 hours, even if you miss.
The success chance sits between 14% and 58%. A bodyguard takes off 18 percentage points. Together with family protection, never more than 25 percentage points come off, and the chance stays at least 14%.
Pull it off and you get $85,000 plus 15% of the target's street cash (at most $30,000) and 2,500 respect. The victim starts over, keeps 40% of the bank and $700 starting cash, and gets a message on login. Miss and you spend a while in the hospital — the detention bar shows how long. You lose the cost either way.
