***EDITED A LITTLE***
When a person has shown no activity for X amount of time; you have a variety of options.
One per X amount of time. You can only have one of the same effect in place at a time, and you need to wait for the cool down to re-do it:
Shaved eyebrows: this will give a minor CHR debuff until they grow back.
Drawn on moustache: See above, only one can be in effect.
Target sign: A target sign has been pinned to their back. This will give them a minor reduced dodge rate, until they successful pass an INT check. Or it could be a taunt like effect (this could be exploited... but if someone is willing to leave their character idle for many minutes just to get this... power to them. Although in this case, maybe make it a countdown instead of an INT).
Tied laces: INT check to spot maybe. This will cause them to trip when next they try to move. All stamina is lost when they move, recovered in the usual amount of time. This obviously can only be done once.
Untied Shoelaces INT check to spot maybe. This is like tied shoe laces (and both obviously cannot be done at the same time) except it will happen on a failed AGL check. You trip over your laces basically, maybe some minor damage.
The duration ones could actually run out by the time you become un-idle.
Also the person applying them uses up a stamina (or all). INT check to notice someone trying to apply them.
Please feel free to contribute. Serious suggestions only, this is a serious topic.
