Player Home (Redhaven)/Holding Cell

The Holding Cell

The Holding Cell is a room in the Player's Home. It is where the MC can imprison members of his household against their will. The home starts with one cell; two more can be built. Each cell can only hold a single prisoner. Prisoners will not enter a cell willingly; NPCs will resist incarceration, using their strength and combat prowess against that of the MC and his Guard force (not his Followers). Do this via Interact > Events & Activities > Imprison.

Construction & Upgrade

• Construction ($1,000): A simple prison cell with a bucket, a wall bunk and a wooden bowl.
• Upgrade ($500): A decorated prison cell with a wall bunk, a chair, and a simple table for eating and doing recreational activities. Decreases daily willpower lost for imprisoned NPC by 13% (from 20%).
• Furnishings ($300): Comfort can optionally be improved by adding a single bed to replace the wall bunk. This won't noticeably affect the effects of incarceration here though.

Effects

• Imprisoning someone in a cell increases their AngerAnger (+4) and reduces their Affection (-10).
• Being in a cell reduces EscapeEscape chances by 95%.
• Being imprisoned will slowly reduce WillpowerWillpower: nightly % chance of -1 point = 20, -10 if Paragon, -5 if Jaded, +5 if Materialistic, +5 if militarily inexperienced (warfame <5).
• Unless the captive has Corruption 80+, each night in a cell reduces Affection by -1 point, down to 10, or down to 20 if the cell has been upgraded.
• Unless the captive has Corruption 80+, each night in a cell increases AngerAnger by +1 point, up to 10.
• Each night imprisoned reduces DefianceDefiance by -1 point.
• Each night imprisoned has a 1 in 3 chance to increase FearFear, up to 10.
• Unless the captive has Corruption 70+, each night imprisoned reduces Happiness: down to 10 if Corruption <20, down to 20 if Corruption 20-29, and down to 30 of Corruption 30-69; dropping by 6 points nightly down to 30, 4 points down to 20, then by 2 points per night down to 10 Happiness.
• Each night imprisoned will also increase a captive's Hunger unless "Auto Food" is set "on" for that cell.
• Cells may also be used to hold NPCs with a troublesome trait (Addiction, Deadly Enemy) until it wears off (usually 100 days) - though for Addiction this may be overkill.

Rename

As with all household rooms, the Holding Cell can be renamed at any time.
