Proposal Type: Bylaw Revision
Opened: 20-Aug-2018 12:00AM EDT
Closing: 27-Aug-2018 12:00AM EDT


I Robert S as Demon Coordinator in relation to performing the tasks of this genre coordinator position here by propose the following, Genre packet and following bylaw amendments. 
 
Below after the list of bylaw amendments, additions and subtractions to demon genre items; a link will be found to the new infernalism packet that we are in the process of translating for our Brazil gaming community.  
 
Due to the major changes, we are asking to do a special form of grandfathering for those player thralls and diabolists characters this impacts. We would like to ask for a 90 day special grandfathering. Because of this we will not be propping this to auto approve. This  extended  grandfathering process will allow all player characters this impacts can renew their BA and do one of the following. 
 
1) Convert to the new system. 
2) Give notice requesting to stay as is, but be frozen from gaining future investments
 
Any character that fails to do either within 90 days will be out of compliance 
 
As stated before per the R&U database this will mainly impact two player characters. NPCs are being excluded from this process of opting in for conversion as one controlled by coords will be amended as they enter play if needed, and currently all but 3 chronicle/other offices controlled infernals will be mostly unaffected by this process, per R&U database data. 
 
Packet highlights. 
1: Genre views and common access points for dealing with the infernal. 
2: Update to summoning and demon creature types
3: New Bargains, Deals, and Pact system. from Rites of the blood. 
4: Giving the Kj office authority to handle Yama king pacts as they should. 
5: System updates to the life of a Thrall
6: Mechanic and system updates to Diabolism
7: New system for determining soul Value
8: Infernal corruption is back
9: Stream lined investment packet: Everything that mimicked power, ritual or merit was removed and put into a catch all investment for each catacory. 
10: A few investments are added as they are in the fluff but not the printed mechanics. 
11: Rarity system majorly adjusted for better tracking of PC infernals, while freeing up npc infernals greatly for st use.
12: New Backgrounds added to reflect current bylaws. 
13: Infernal rank majorly scaled back on investment options, and adjusted to reflect RP and advancement for thralls and Diabolists in power structures of hell. 
14: Very rough outline for fallen lore levels. 
15: New infernal merit and materials added to mimick baali packet. Key demonic merits clarified if attached flaws count towards character gen. They do not. 
16: Flaw list greatly expanded to help with infernal character creation. 
17: Infernal combis cleaned up per council and st input. 
18: Detection mechanics added per rites of the blood and many of the different genre detection mechanics, as provided by the different coord teams; along with a few custom ones. There is also a few created by this office to help give guide lines and ideas for chronicles wishing to follow.
