Proposal: Treasure Chests 2
Timed out, 1-4. Failed by JonathanDark.

Rename the Rule “Containers” to “Pouches”.
Add a new rule after “Pouches” named “Chests” with the text
Each Thief has a chest, which can contain 2 Possessions. As a daily action, a thief may Take Inventory.
Taking inventory is an atomic action sent to the city, wherein the city responds with the contents of their chest. Then, optionally, a player may, by privately specifying to the city:
- take a possession out of their chest.
- put a possession into their chest.
- do nothing.
Amend the effect of Lockpick to be “A thief may expend a lockpick during the action of Taking Inventory by specifying whose chest to operate on, and then the city will pretend that the specified thief’s chest is their chest for the purposes of that specific Taking Inventory.”
ALSO, this would enable a player to make a few additional pouches, by first placing any extant pouches in the chest, and additionally, kinda sorta the ability to trade?
Interesting idea, but needs reworking.
JonathanDark: he/him
Is the response from the City part of the atomic action? If so, that could cause problems for the Thief who tries to Take Inventory. Per the rules, “When a Thief performs an Atomic Action, they must complete all its steps; they must complete them in order; and they may not take any other dynastic action, or achieve victory, until all the steps are complete.” This would mean that Thief is unable to do anything else until the City responds.
I would make it two different actions: one that simply reports the contents of a chest (with the Lockpick allowing reporting on another Thief’s chest), and a separate action that allows manipulating the contents of a chest (with the Lockpick allowing manipulation of the contents of another Thief’s chest).
