big brawler backup weapon

Thanks everyone for your answers.

About the situation in the city.
As I said it is city of wizards. It is bit pricey for normal citizins to live in. It's aim is to house as much wizards as possible (so they are not messing up rural/mundane areas) and to lure adveturers to purchase expensive gear and services, Wizards live in the city because of comfort like hot flowing water, heathing and weather controll.

So violence happens but tend to follow the adventurers.

"Big Mama" restaurant has somewhat notorious reputation. Because it has a history of attracting brawls. Older dwarven ladies are the staff of the place. They are usualy retired and love to chat but have temper and there service might be seen as lacking.
Since it is no mana zone (and only one accessable to public.) Part of the patrons are veteran battle-mages. Since the no mana part means, you don't burn half a city if you get into a drunk fight.
Many of the secret meetings also take place there, since there no better protection from mind reading and spying then no mana zone.
And lastly it is a to go to place for adventurers seeking favors from dwarves, because many dwarven bussiness men and crafts men visit there mothers here. And the eldery dwarven ladies are all too eager to share who the best smith is or who is looking for extra muscle for hire.

So is the worst place to be? No, definetly not. But for relatively tranquil city of scholars, wizards and higher class society, this one definetly stands out.

A NMZ will not protect you from a lip reader with a vision enhancement spell outside the zone. Mundane privacy might help you but a small NMZ has its' limits.

My characters would never go there but my characters buy magical protections.

Heck...

Lip Reading + Acute Vision + a level or four of Nightvision works mana, no mana no matter.

Also Acute Hearing...

Both of above cheaper pointswise than the magic route.

Small Advantages can be fun!! I once did a character for whom that was the entire concept (at the beginning). Build on 150 pts + 40 disads + 5 perks. I had 90 pts of Advantages the only 4 of which had a cost in double digits. Luck at 15 pts was the most expensive. 19 total advantages at roll up. An immensely talented, sixteen year old bundle of impulses who only needed 4 hours of sleep a day.
