Proposal: Stepping Aside

Timed out 5 votes to 0 with 1 unresolved DEF. Enacted by Kevan.

Enact a new rule “Successors”:-

At any time an Heir who has a positive Reputation may take the following atomic action of nominating a Successor:

* Set their own Forename to Nameless
* Set their Age to 3DICE20+10. If their Age decreases by more than 20 as a result of this then the Successor is an Offspring; otherwise the Successor is Distant.
* If the Successor is an Offspring and the Heir has any Aspects; they lose one Aspect at random, then gain a random Aspect
* If the Successor is Distant; they lose all Aspects and Flaws, then gain a random Aspect
* Lose 4 Reputation

If the proposal “Thou Is Spouseless” enacted, add after the first point of the above list:-

* Set their Spouse to None

If the proposal “Common Ground” enacted, add before the final point of the above list:-

* If the Successor is Distant and the Heir is the Palatine of an Estate; set that Estate’s Palatine to the Old King

Replace “Within 24 hours of having gained a Feature for the first time in the dynasty, an Heir may once choose to randomly select, and apply to themselves, an additional Aspect and a single Flaw.” with:-

An Heir is Travelling if they have gained a Feature for the first time in the dynasty within the past 24 hours, or if they have nominated a Distant Successor within the past 24 hours. While an Heir who has no Flaws is Travelling, they may choose to randomly select, and apply to themselves, an additional Aspect and a single Flaw.

Feels like we might need the Reinitialisation rule to break up the opening die rolls a bit. Here’s a more genealogical spin on it.

Is it intentional that Distant Successors can’t take advantage of the option to take an additional feature and flaw in the same way that original heirs can?

It’s not. I’ll add a clause to update the Features rule.
