Suggestion Topic: Silent raid definition for 2.5 Excessive Negativity
Suggestion Description: 2.5 Excessive negativity mentions the following:
"[...]If you surprise someone who is unarmed during a silent raid, you must not kill them on sight."
However, there is no such thing that defines a silent raid in the rules or in the Help guides as far as I'm able to look up.
Bobby pins can be considered silent, where raiders should be considerate of unarmed people. Crowbars aren't silent and should give plenty of hints that a raid is imminent.
However, there might be some more edge cases. What if you force your way inside as you catch someone off guard? What about key raiding? Does this rule even apply to Police when they do the same when we put aside policies?
I excluded C2 and the battering ram in the proposed addition below but you do whatever you see fit.
While some of these options should be apparent what really means as a silent raid I believe it would be good to have a concrete definition under the already existing terminology section for Raiding and of course hyperlinking the word "silent" to lead to the same section.
It could look like this:
Raid
Trespassing on or trying to force entry into an occupied property so as to either steal from it or the players inside, or to cause harm. This includes failed attempts. The use of crowbars, explosives (such as grenades, timed explosives and remote explosives) count a raid as a loud raid, all other options that are not mentioned here make the raid a silent raid.
Why should this be added?:
-Gives us a definition for something that is mentioned in the rules which could make some more edge cases less confusing on what really counts as silent or loud.
What negatives could this have?:
-Unnecessary? I believe we all know what raiding tools should be silent and which are loud.
-Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level drops to 5, bringing the US reading age up to the equivalent of a 8th grade class reading comprehension level of a 14 year old child.
