I don’t think we have the necessary rules support for this sort of thing, yet.

I think it’s a good idea. It’s only in the wiki, so, would it break the rules as just ideas to have it listed?

It doesn’t even make sense to talk of an “opponent”, under any of the current rules or proposals.

It wouldn’t break the rules to have the bracketed text on the wiki page, but it could mislead players who hadn’t read these comments.

wasn’t it her own countrymen who burned her at the stake?

She’d only be insane if she didn’t have said visions, but sane if she did, not that we know for sure.

I’ll wait until special attributes are allowed before putting this one up.  Even then, the mentions of “opponent” need work, but perhaps I’ll think of something.
