Create a new rule “Rituals”

As a weekly action, a Clansmen may perform one Ritual for each 10 Honor they have (Example: If they have 35 Honor, they may perform up to 3 rituals per week). The Clansmen must fulfill any other requirements for the specific Ritual being performed, follow any instructions specified on the ritual, make a comment on the most recent Weekly Rituals post specifying the ritual attempted and any choices required by it and the results of rolls made to perform it. If a ritual Fails, it has no effect on the gamestate.

At the beginning of each week, any Clan Lord may create a Weekly Rituals story post that includes the word “Rituals” in its title if no Weekly Rituals post has been created that week. A Clansmen may not perform a ritual while being a Combatant in a Duel.

The currently known rituals that a Clansmen may perform are described on the sub-rules to this rule, with the name of the sub-rule being the name of the Ritual.

Create a new sub-rule “Rite of Passage”:

The Clansmen goes hunting and brings back a sacred beast for the whole Clan to feast on. The Clansmen decides what kind of beast to hunt, choosing between “Horned Beast”, “Slithering Beast” or “Winged Beast” and chooses a size of beast between “Normal”, “Huge” or “Gargantuan”. Then, that Clansmen rolls 2DICEX where X is the value of Strength, Skill or Reflexes of that Clansmen, depending of the kind of beast (in the same order the appear). For the hunt to be successful, the result of the roll must be equal or greater than 5, 10 or 20 according to the size of the beast (in order).  Otherwise, the Ritual Fails and the Clansmen takes Damage. If the ritual succeeds, the Clansmen raises the rolled stat by 1, 2 or 3 according to the size of the beast.

For example, hunting a Huge Slithering Beast would require to roll 2DICE(Skill) and get a 10 or more.

Create a new sub-rule “Sacred Feast”:

This ritual may only be performed if another Clansmen who shares the same Clan as the one performing this Ritual has succeeded in a Rite of Passage this week. The Clansmen joins their fellows in celebration, feasting on the meat brought by their brothers and sisters in arms. The Clansmen performing this Ritual may set their Health to a previous value from the valid list of Health values, unless already Superb. Otherwise, if already Superb, the next time this Clansmen would deal Damage, it deals Crushing Damage instead. Then, raise the Honor of one another Clansmen who performed a Rite of Passage this week by 1, or by 2 if the Clansmen performing the Sacred Feast is a Clan Lord. A Clansmen may never increase their own honor through a Sacred Feast.

Create a Weekly Rituals post with the title, “Rituals for the favor of Aggrothar” and the text:

Brothers and Sisters! The War God Aggrothar must be honored by the sacred hunt of the warrior beasts! Let’s begin the sacred hunt and feast for the Honor of our Champions!

I’ve tried making this as flavorful as I could, and I hope this can get some interesting Clan strategies and politics going on.
