In “Items”, replace the paragraph beginning “An item in an auction must have the following qualities” and the bullet list below it with:-

An item in an auction must have the following qualities (the name being chosen by Louis XIV and all other qualities being selected at random):

* A Name
* A Type (either Physical, Favour of the King, Loyalty from a Vassal, Romantic, or Military)
* A sequence of either one, two or three Impacts (the number selected at random, then each Impact selected at random; the same impact may be selected more than once for an item)

Impacts and their effects to the winner upon being won are:

* Instructive (+1 Power)
* Extravagant (+1 Prestige)
* Distracting (-1 Power to a minimum of zero)
* Unfashionable (-1 Prestige to a minimum of zero)
* Valuable (-X Debt, where X is a secretly random number from zero to the median average Debt of all Noblemen)

Impact effects are applied in the order they are listed on the Item, when that Item is won.

If a Military Item would be Extravagant, it is instead Instructive. If a Favour of the King Item would be Valuable, it is instead Extravagant.

Remove “A sale price in money; winning this item will reduce your Debt by this amount.” from the final bullet list in that rule.
