NOTE: The infernal packet was attached to the initial proposal email. Please go reference it.====================================================================

To fix the formatting of the Infernalism in the Bylaws so that the text of the Bylaws matches the registration for the R&U Category classifications of the things added below, I'm proposing to revise to the following:

Proposed Change #1:
All entries that say "b. NPC [*] require Council Notification." in Section 4 will be removed. They are being moved from "Unusual" as per the first proposal to "Rare" according to the wishes of the Infernalism Subcoordinator so that they are required to be Notified to Council.

They will follow the standard R&U process for Rare, and need no additional notes, which would remove the "*" from the listing in the R&U charts for "NPC Characters Seeking Infernalism*":

ii. Characters Seeking Infernalism
1. Mortals Seeking Infernalism
a. PC Mortals seeking Infernalism through any means are to be approved by the appropriate Coordinator (based upon the genre of their Home Chronicle, in the case of a Vampire game, the Sabbat Coordinator) before such permission is given; this includes Summoning/Binding a Demon or gaining any sort of Infernal power.
2. Vampires Seeking Infernalism
a. PC Vampires seeking Infernalism through any means are to be approved by the Sabbat Coordinator (or Tremere Coordinator, if Tremere) before such permission is given; this includes Summoning/Binding a Demon or gaining any sort of Infernal power.
3. Mages Seeking Infernalism
a. PC Awakened Mages seeking Infernalism through any means are to be approved by the Mage Coordinator before any such permission is given; this includes Summoning/Binding a Demon or gaining any sort of Infernal power.
4. Fae Seeking Infernalism
a. PC Changelings seeking Infernalism through any means are to be approved by the Changeling Coordinator before such permission is given; this includes Summoning/Binding a Demon or gaining any sort of Infernal power.
5. Changing Breeds Seeking Infernalism
a. PC Changing Breeds seeking Infernalism through any means are to be approved by the Changing Breed Coordinator before such permission is given; this includes Summoning/Binding a Demon or gaining any sort of Infernal power.
6. Kuei-jin Seeking Infernalism
a. PC Kuei-jin seeking Infernalism through any means are to be approved by the Kuei-jin Coordinator before such permission is given; this includes Summoning/Binding a Demon or gaining any sort of Infernal power.

Removed:
b. NPC Vampire Infernalists require Council Notification.
b. NPC Vampire Infernalists require Council Notification.
b. NPC Awakened Mage Infernalists require Council Notification.
b. NPC Changeling Infernalists require Council Notification.
b. NPC Changing Breed Infernalists require Council Notification.
b. NPC Kuei-jin Infernalists require Council Notification.

Proposed Change #2:

"NPC Characters with Dark Thaumaturgy or other Infernal Investments*"
This will be "Rare" instead of "Unusual".

iii. Dark Thaumaturgy or other Infernal Investments
1. Infernal Investments
a. PCs gaining Infernal Investments, regardless of their type or power, are to be approved by the appropriate Coordinator before they are granted. The Coordinators reserve the right to deny any/all Investments a character wishes to take should they prove too powerful, inappropriate or in violation of this packet.
b. NPCs gaining Infernal Investments *** are expected to keep Investments within the parameters and constraints of the Council-approved Infernalism Packet.

Removed from line b @ ***: "require Council Notification and".
Reason: This will comply with the requirements of the category without giving this instruction.

Proposed change #3:

Current Bylaw:
v. Use of the Infernalist Power "Forsaken"
1. "Forsaken" is the advanced power of dark thaumaturgy "Path of the Unspoken."
1. All uses of "Forsaken," regardless of their target, require Council Notification. Use of "Forsaken" as Notified may be Proposed to go to Council Vote should the target be controversial.

Proposed Bylaw Revision:

v. Use of the Infernalist Power "Forsaken"
1. "Forsaken" is the advanced power of dark thaumaturgy "Path of the Unspoken." See R&U Bylaw, Section 6.A.vii, Special Cases, for the specific administrative process of this rare and unique occurance."

And addition to R&U Bylaws, Section 6, "Special Cases", 6.A.vii:

vii: Use of the Infernalist Power "Forsaken"
1. Any and all uses of "Forsaken," regardless of their target, require Council Notification. Use of "Forsaken" as Notified may be Proposed to go to Council Vote should the target be controversial.

Thank you.
