Proposal: Smells Like Creed Spirit
Fails 1-8—Clucky

If the Creeds rule does not exist, create an empty Creeds rule. Replace the contents of the Creeds rule with the following:
Each Monk has a list of achieved Creeds, which are tracked in the Mosaic and default to an empty list. Each Creed has a description (which is flavortext) and an effect. The following Creeds exist:
* Life: a Monk knows to exist - no effect
* Balance: a Monk knows that one begets the other - no effect
* Harmony: a Monk knows to coexist - no effect
* Truth: a Monk knows where to go - no effect
* Resolve: a Monk knows how to get there - no effect
* Nirvana: a Monk knows - achieve victory.As a Weekly Action, a Monk may devote themselves to a Creed from their list and execute its effect.
More thematic reinterpretation of Creeds as “collectibles”, such that Monks are trying to achieve various Creeds. The intention is that other rules will allow Monks to achieve Creeds incrementally, until they also achieve Nirvana. Nirvana is primarily a thematic rebranding of victory (instead of “achieving victory”, one can “achieve nirvana”)
now that its after two hours. I’m just not sold on the direction this might send the dynasty
Clucky: he/him
I like the original idea of creeds. Think they could be an interesting way to introduce specialization.
Hesitant this approach, primarily because it adds a goal of the dynasty of “obtain Nirvana” which I’m donno if I’m too keen on. At the core, this is supposed to be a mosaic building dynasty with monks just being a convenient way of skinning it. Making Nirvana the goal feels like it might things more focused on the nature of monks rather than on the mosaic.
