Proposal: Slow Starter
In the rule Vocations by Life Stage, change the phrase “after joining the dynasty for the first time” to “after giving themselves a Vocation for the first time” wherever it appears.
In the same rule, immediately before the line which starts “For the first week”, add the following line:
If a Seeker has not given themselves any Vocations at any point in the Dynasty then that Seeker is in the Infant Life Stage.
Add the following as a new first line to the rule Vocations by Life Stage:
When a Seeker is in the Infant Life Stage, they may add a single Hobby as a Vocation.
ais523: Custodian
It took me a while to understand what this proposal does – the restriction on one Hobby for Infants does nothing because adding any Hobbies immediately makes you a Juvenile and lets you add more, but the point seems to be that it lets you choose when your Life Stage countdown starts.
That seems fair enough, although it’s slightly unintuitive how it works.
