If your code of conduct is entirely something imposed by an organisation, then doesn't that provide all the appropriate motivations? |
Quote:
If a member of the clergy disregards his order's rules, he'll get in trouble with his superiors. If he doesn't care... does that actually matter? |
Quote:
Worrying about this is a bit like worrying how to force a character with a short temper to lose their temper, when the player chose for them to be that way in the first place. Either the player is playing a character who cares about these rules, in which case you don't need to enforce them, or they're not, in which case you don't want them to follow them anyway. |
Again, looking for advice to GMs who are not me.

There are valid reasons for keeping corruption secret in a corrupt society. |
Quote:
A lot of the punishment will not come from their superiors. It will come from other sources. The priest walking down the street is going to be seen, and there will be consequences. |
Quote:
Some ideas for consequences: Some people are going to be mad, and will start nasty rumors about the person. Soon no one will want to be seen in public with them. The party is not going to be too happy when they are not allowed into stores, or inns. Or party members might be ordered by their organizations to stay away from this drunken priest. Some people will report to the superiors so they can collect reward, or they will demand a huge bribe to remain quiet. The casino will not want any involvement with the situation. They should turn the priest away, and maybe even call the night watch upon him. |
Quote:
Another ambitious priest sees him do this. Accusing the drunken priest of heresy and corruption is a great way for this person to make a name for himself. A crime lord might have some of his men quickly usher the priest off the street to protect the priest's reputation. Now the priest has a huge IOU with a crime lord. |
