Felony

A Felony is a gameplay feature that only appears in Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories. Felonies are a sign of honor for demons, because laws only exist in the Netherworld to be broken.

How it works
Subpoenas are received from the Post Office NPC, Kemru(or Messen in Axel Mode). Characters may receive Subpoenas by clearing certain conditions(see list below), and accepting a Subpoena will create an item with a Bailiff Specialist. Entering a special portal on the Item World floor denoted by the level of the Bailiff in an item summons the character to the Dark Court, where they will receive a certain number of felonies, as well as Hell or items.

Subpoenas cannot be received until the Felony tutorial in Chapter 3 of the original release. In all subsequent releases, this restriction is still in place for Adell Mode but starting the game in Axel Mode allows the player to start receiving subpoenas from the Post Office NPC as soon as any character clears the conditions needed to receive one.

Felonies have a limit of 300 per character, and those with felonies will have a stamp over their portrait denoting the current number. The stamps only show a maximum of 99 felonies(despite the limit of 300), but Dark Hero Days added a section in the status screen that displays the exact value. Note that if a Tower of characters is thrown into the Dark Court, all of them will receive felonies, speeding up the process of obtaining them. Likewise, Magichanged monsters also gain felonies if their wielders enter the portal.

Felonies grant various effects, whose strength depends on the number of felonies on the character:


 * Increased EXP gain(+1% per felony)
 * Reduced shop purchase prices(by up to 33%)
 * Increased shop selling prices(by up to 33%)
 * Higher approval rate from Senators at the Dark Assembly
 * When using Ascend in the Dark World, raises the level of enemies instead of hurting the Dark Sun
 * Unlocks certain stages(at 33, 66 and 99 felonies)

Generic classes can get rid of their felonies by using the option to "Reincarnate as a Prinny" in the Dark Assembly, then Reincarnating back to whichever class they want. Unique characters have the option to "Reincarnate to Atone for their Sins", which works more like regular Reincarnation. In both cases, the character loses their felony stamp along with all of its effects, except for the increased EXP gain.

General Felonies
These felonies can be received by any character, once per reincarnation.

Unique Felonies
These felonies are not associated to a specific character, and can only be obtained once per savefile(starting a new cycle won't reset them).
