    Again, the rewards need to be structured properly. Killing someone
    for no reason should be punished. Pk could perhaps not even be
    possible (without a set of special preconditions - must be in a
    Pk-allowed zone, must be within a certain level difference of each
    other, must have opted in to Pk, etc.)

    One thing I just thought of in terms of rewards (and punishments) is
    for evil virtues (not alignment) to be altered towards zero when
    "petty" evils are committed, such as pointless murder. The
    character is still evil, still has many negatives racked up making
    attaining virtue very difficult, but then also loses any possible
    powers from being truly evil.

    One must be careful to keep things balanced at all points in the
    game. And also to make sure the balance is "real" to the players.
    "Increased chance of permadeath" sounds like a pretty weak
    punishment for greatly increased power (which should decrease chance
    of death at all).
