In the rule “Anatomy”, change
*Choanocyte: An organ in this state may, as a daily action, consume one nutrient to fertilize an egg cluster that is in the same location as that organ’s creature. The nutrient consumed must be a nutrient that the egg cluster currently requires. No organ may fertilize an egg cluster of which it is the mother. When an organ fertilizes an egg cluster, that organ’s name is added as a father to that egg cluster. Fertilizing an egg cluster fulfills Procreation Drive.
TO
*Dart Sack: An organ in this state may, as a daily action, consume one nutrient to fertilize an egg cluster in the state of “unfertilized” that is in the same location as that organ’s creature. No organ may fertilize an egg cluster of which it is the mother. When an organ fertilizes an egg cluster, that organ’s name is added as a father to that egg cluster. Fertilizing an egg cluster fulfills Procreation Drive.
*Choanocyte: An organ in this state may, as a daily action, consume one nutrients to nourish an egg cluster that is in the same location as that organ’s creature, and is not unfertilized. The nutrient consumed must be a nutrient that the egg cluster currently requires. Nourishing an egg cluster fulfills Procreation Drive.
And in the rule “Egg Clusters” change
When an egg cluster is fertilized, it advances to the next stage listed under “Stage” in this rule.
TO
When an egg cluster is nourished, it advances to the next stage listed under “Stage” in this ruleset. When it has been fertilized four times, it advances one stage.
Because being a parent is more than conceiving offspring.
Oracular rufio:
I think we need to keep the sentence about fertilizing it moving it to the next stage, since otherwise it can just be fertilized endlessly and still remain in the “Unfertilized” stage.
Also, I there’s nothing in here preventing Choanocytes from nourishing unfertilized eggs, since it still says that they “require any nutrient”.
