    Well, since they're already suing each other for items and characters and getting fined for farming and selling stuff on ebay, I wonder when the moment comes that they will need lawyers for virtual law systems, such as what they create for a game. Especially the NWN saga has featured trials, think what with MMORPG when they attain a high enough level of development. "Attorney at law in Azeroth", lol. Well, sounds like a career, doesn't it? :D

    A career perspective indeed: I am lawyer with a specialty in 3,5e AD&D rules, and offer my services to represent players feeling unfairly treated by evil 'dungeon masters' (name sais it all).

    Typically the client sues his dungeon master for compensation and punitive damage, paid for in XP and magic items.

    Actually, 'heroes' usually find themselves as defendants against criminal charges of trespassing, vandalism, grand theft and assault/murder; not to mention civil suits for above damages that these slandered 'dungeon masters' find themselves suddenly and spontaneously burdened with. ;)

    Settlements usually consist of carbonated drinks, pizza and snack foods.
