You literally described a character who does the same thing every time. They pick people up and put them in detention.

I'd imagine you'd still be allowed to roleplay them you would just roleplay them less then your student.

How so? You just said that they pick people up and put them in detention every single time. I mean, I'm not saying they're meant to say the exact same thing every time, just that punishment should be consistent and that they only be used to resolve situations and carry out the penalties.

The general idea of my suggestion is so that firstly, you won't actually have to teach anything, because that would force inactivity if the player is offline, not to mention that their lessons may end up horribly inaccurate, especially if it's about stuff dependent on the setting, like magic. And secondly, if the player is offline, someone can still use that staff member to stop people from doing things, since their response is clearly defined.

Why would we need fully fledged characters to do that though? Why not just fill the place with enchantments that zap people and shout at them? Or just have staff members that have no personality and who only exist to stop people and shout at them? After all, you could pretty much just have a single Giant Dad who interrupts people via lagstab and then proceeds to stunlock them while shouting "git gud" and the problem would be solved.

Well, my criteria for the teachers is much more stricter than the students. Which is to say that they have to be able to do their duties as a teacher and not abuse their status/powers enough to piss everyone off. So they don't need to be fully-fledged characters per-say, but it helps. Plus, let's be honest here, the standards for PC students are pretty damn low. Pretty much any set of criteria for teachers is going to be more strict than students.

Looks good to me. It'll be nice to have someone to clean up unslightly messes. Just not the ones that are students, obviously.

.....Speaking of which, what should we do for the teacher sheet?

Same as the student sheet, except Classes how describes which ones they teach. Or whatever they do in the school, I guess. As for their stats... We'll burn that bridge when we get to it. If worse comes to worse, we can always put down 'Ganks 1d6 students per turn' and call it a day.

Because otherwise, people will just use them as an additional character slot, but with less balancing restrictions.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. They're purely for RP purposes and yelling at students when they do really stupid and public stuff. Assuming that I'm not around to do so, of course.

The general idea of my suggestion is so that firstly, you won't actually have to teach anything, because that would force inactivity if the player is offline, not to mention that their lessons may end up horribly inaccurate, especially if it's about stuff dependent on the setting, like magic. And secondly, if the player is offline, someone can still use that staff member to stop people from doing things, since their response is clearly defined.

Well, I'm assuming that some people might want to customize a teacher and do some RP from the other end of the scale too. If we need some generic teachers with preset reactions/whatever that anybody can use to punish wrongdoers, then I can quickly cook some ideas up.

"Of course, USEC. After all, this unit and the flower are modeled alike."

Except in good looks, obviously.

Yes.

No.

PN: Teacher sheets are optional. And experimental. You don't have to make one if you don't want to.
