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.
SingularByte: he/him
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?
