Proposal: When Things Just Happen To You

In the rule “Life Events”, replace the description for RIF with the following:

Remove a Job from each of that Seeker’s Vocations that contain a Job.

and in the same rule, replace the description for Obsolete with the following:

Randomly select one of that Seeker’s Vocations that contains a Hobby and remove it.

and in the same rule, append the following text:

If a Seeker loses a Job or Hobby due to a Life Event, they may add a Hobby of their choice to one of their empty Vocations, provided that they have never had that Hobby in any Vocation during this dynasty.

for although this wording is kind-of weird – according to the rules “each Seeker can have up to two Vocations”, each of which is either a Job or a Hobby. Does a Job contain a Job, as opposed to being a Job?

Likewise, “one of their empty Vocations” doesn’t work – if you don’t have a Vocation then you don’t have a Vocation, there isn’t such a thing as an empty Vocation.

The wording here seems to be based on the tracker rather than on the actual ruleset.

Fair point. I think it will still work, but I’m not opposed to fixing it up further. I’ll make a note of it if there’s ever a mechanic that winds up using Life Events.
