Reword the paragraph in the rule “Vampire Lords” that begins “Each Vampire Lord has an Allegiance…” as follows:

Each Vampire Lord has an Allegiance, which is publicly tracked and which defaults to none. If a Vampire Lord’s Allegiance is set to the name of another Vampire Lord, then the former Vampire Lord is said to be Enthralled; to Enthrall another Vampire Lord is to set that Vampire Lord’s Allegiance to one’s own name.

If a Vampire Lord is Enthralled, then as a Power Action with a cost of 1, they may grant the Vampire Lord who most recently Enthralled them a Favour, then set their Allegiance to none and cease being Enthralled.

Add a paragraph to the end of the rule “Features” as follows:

Any Puissance or Influence that would accrue to an Enthralled Vampire Lord from the above Features instead accrues to the Vampire Lord who Enthralls them.

Add to the list in the rule “Richardo’s Journey” as the second-to-last bullet the following:

For each Vampire Lord who is Enthralled and who had Influence or Puissance that they would have gained instead accrue to the Vampire Lord who Enthralls them during this action, set the Allegiance of that Enthralled Vampire Lord to none (and that Enthralled Vampire Lord ceases to be Enthralled).

Reword the rule “Unlife” as follows:

If a Vampire Lord’s Puissance is 0, then that Vampire Lord is Dust. While a Vampire Lord is Dust, they may not spend Puissance, their Puissance is 0, and their Puissance cannot be raised above 0 except by means defined in this rule. If a Vampire Lord is not Dust, then that Vampire Lord is Revenant.

If a Vampire Lord’s Puissance is above 10, then that Vampire Lord is Bloodthirsty. While a Vampire Lord is Bloodthirsty, they may not Explore Rooms or Engrave Sigils.

If a given Vampire Lord is Dust, any other Vampire Lord who is Revenant but not Enthralled by the Dust Vampire Lord or Bloodthirsty may, as a Power Action that is also a Daily Action with a cost of 1, raise the Puissance of that Dust Vampire Lord to 1 and Enthrall that Vampire Lord.

If a given Vampire Lord is Dust, any other Vampire Lord who is Bloodthirsty and not Enthralled by the Dust Vampire Lord may, as a Power Action that is also a Daily Action with a cost of 2, raise the Puissance of that Dust Vampire Lord to 3 and Enthrall that Vampire Lord.

If a given Vampire Lord is Dust, and another Vampire Lord who is Revenant is currently Enthralled by that Dust Vampire Lord, then that Enthralled Revenant Vampire Lord may, as a Power Action with a cost of 1, raise the Puissance of the Dust Vampire Lord Enthralling them to 1, then set their own Allegiance to none and thereby cease to be Enthralled.

I really do try to write short proposals, but this is the best way I can think of to address Kevan’s and Clucky’s concerns. You can lend a Favour to get out of being a Thrall, or you can wait for Richardo to free you, at a cost.

Seems pretty good.

One concern is that a vampire lord who already has max favours could potentially thrall-lock someone.

Maybe we need a way for people to temporarily have more than max favours, but they get trimmed down at the end of the dynasty?
