Proposal: The OC

Reword the text in the rule “Tools of the Trade {M}” that reads “a Participant may add, remove, or change one character of a Mutable rule into a single other character” to read as follows:

a Participant may alter a Mutable rule by adding one instance of one character to that rule; removing one instance of one character from that rule; or changing one instance of a single character in that rule to another character

Reword the text in the rule “Focus {I}” that reads “A focus of * is numerically equivalent to 1 when you are spending or losing focus, but is numerically equivalent to 0 in all other circumstances” to read as follows:

A Participant with a Focus of * is considered to have a Focus equal to 0

After the paragraph beginning “If a Participant has at least 1 Focus, they can” in the rule “Focus {I}” append the following:

If a Participant has a Focus of * then they can, when attempting to perform a Heist Action, include “(Focus)” in the Dice Roller comment for the attempt. If they do so, and that action is successful, then their Focus becomes 0 and that Heist Action is Swift.

I think there’s a couple of intentional (?) loopholes here—the phrasing as written collapses to “may remove… one character… into a single other character,” for instance, and I don’t know who “you” is—but I don’t know how to use them to my own advantage, so.

Tools of the Trade has been so fundamental to most of the wins so far, it’s surprising it hasn’t been hacked yet.

We put a couple of dollar signs into it last time, so it’s kind-of expensive to hack.
