If Proposal: Spelling Lessons fails, then this does nothing.
Add a new rule: Possession is 9/10 of the Law
Once a week Students with the condition “Ghost†may replace a “Study†action during a Lesson with a “Possession†action. This action targets a Student with the “Alive†condition. Instead of increasing their grade by an increment of one, the Possessing student increases their grade by an increment of two, so long as their new grade does not equal or exceed the grade (at the time the Possession action is taken) of the target of Possession. As per the “Lessons” rule, Students must post a comment to the appropriate Lesson’s entry describing their behavior and which must include a designation of the target of the “Possession” action.
Add a new rule: Headshot!
Once a week Students with the condition Alive may replace a “Disrupt†action during a Lesson with a “Disorient†action. This action has all of the effects of a “Disrupt†action with the added effect of decrementing a targeted Student, whose condition is either “Ghost†or “Zombie†by two steps instead of one. As per the “Lessons” rule, Students must post a comment to the appropriate Lesson’s entry describing their behavior and which must include a designation of the target of the “Disorient” action.
Add a new rule; Mmmrrrrghhhh…
During a Lesson, no Student with the “Zombie†condition, hereafter “Zombie Student,†may have their grade in that subject lowered below the lowest grade held by a Zombie Student attending the the same Lesson. At least three Zombie Students must be attending a Lesson for this protection to take effect. If a Zombie Student has his or her grade reduced by a “Disorient†action then that reduction may take him or her no lower than one step below the the lowest grade held by a Zombie Student attending the same lesson.
There’s an advantage to pretty much everything as long as you can find it. Those students of the less than corporeal persuasion can bring the concept of “Study Partners” to a whole new plain of awkwardness. The livelier kids have learned ways to exploit their vitally challenged peers in ways that will gross out everyone else in class. As for the studying dead, well, who needs brains? A horde, after all, is only as smart as its dumbest member.
Seems like the Alive and Ghost options are quite a bit stronger than the Zombie option. From my reading, it appears Zombie Students have no tangible benefits from this proposal.
Your own fault for zombifying yourself, Thane.
