If both Lead Piping and Just One More Thing have not been Enacted, this proposal does nothing.

Replace the second paragraph and unordered list in the rule “Traits” with the following text:

Each Trait has a Name and a Nature (either Positive, Neutral or Negative). Observant, Dogged, and Forensic are Positive Traits. Scruffy, Alcoholic, and Arrogant are Negative Traits.

Amend the rule “Clues” by replacing the unordered list with the text:

* For each Detective, perform the following atomic action, known as an Investigation:-
** Establish the Target to be the player mentioned when describing the performing of this atomic action.
** Roll a ten-sided die. This is known as the Search Roll. The result of the Search Roll is known as the Search Result.
** If the Target is Observant, increase the Search Result by 1.
** If the Target is Alcoholic, decrease the Search Result by 1.
** If the Search Result is 6 or above, the Target Finds a Clue, with the following conditions:
*** If the Target is Scruffy and the Clue is about a Location other than the Kitchen, Hall or Cellar, or about whether Casey is the Murderer, they instead find no Clue.
*** If the Target is Arrogant and the Clue is a Motive Disproof, they instead find no Clue.
** If the Target is Dogged, and has found a Disproof Clue during this Search, Investigate for the Target again.
** If the Target is Forensic, and has found a Method Clue during a Search, they Find another Clue.
* Post a blog entry announcing that a Search has occurred, and how many Clues were found during it.
