Regarding the controversial (at the moment) outlaw status.
I know a lot of people won't agree with this, but I feel like a blanket outlaw status can be a little lame. If someone from say, Aphros is an outlaw, but they are protected by Aphros, they should still get settlement protections against say, someone from Vdalion trying to attack them if they are being sheltered.
So, here's what I propose. Regional/Faction/Settlement/Whatever you wanna call it Outlaws.
This may make things a bit more complicated, but it doesn't make any sense for someone who might be known for killing Dal'Thalans because they're ordered to or whatnot by their country to be considered an outlaw EVERYWHERE. Of course, this changes with alliances and hoo-ha whatever politics, but I feel like it's not too unreasonable.
Using a recent example: Undead. Perdition USED to be a thing, Vdalion USED to maintain necromancy as legal, accepted and at times, a protected practice. It wouldn't make sense for an undead to be considered an 'Outlaw' in Vdalion or Perdition, a place they would've commonly inhabited. This wouldn't be too 'meta' or 'ooc' either, this would be wholly IC and make sense. After all, if I'm a head of state who's sponsoring someone wreaking havoc, my settlement's defenses would assist them.
That's all I'm sayin'.
