[Proposal] [Bylaws] [AutoPass] Regulation of Drink the Mind (Assamite Version)

THIS PROPOSAL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO AUTO-PASS

This proposal is made in accordance with the Coordinator Bylaws, section 3.C. (Subsections ii. and iii.):

3. Coordinator Duties

C. Genre Coordinators

iii. Genre Coordinators must pass before Council any plot, enforced policy, R&U named characters, or binding edict they wish to use which they can reasonably expect to affect multiple chronicles and these proposals need not be seconded, but go immediately into discussion.

   1. If no opposition is voiced during the week of discussion, the proposal is considered passed and enforceable. Once passed these are considered binding to all chronicles and a chronicles refusal to adhere is grounds for OWBN disciplinary measures. Opposition must be in regards to the content of the proposal and must give those reasons why the objection is voiced. This is to allow Coordinator's the opportunity to respond and/or make changes/remove the proposal and its contents.

PROPOSAL

I, Chase Jelliffe, as Assamite Coordinator, hereby propose the following change to bylaw 10.m.viii.47:

From:

47. Non-Assamites with Assamite Combination Disciplines - PC: Coordinator Approval - NPC: Coordinator Approval - Coordinator: Assamite

    1. Baal's Sight

    2. Draught of the Soul

    3. Eyes of Alamut

    4. Eyes of Blades

    5. Forced March/Long March

    6. Honeyed Words

    7. Retain the Quick Blood (Assamite Version)

    8. Shadow Feint

    9. Truth of Blood

To:

47. Non-Assamites with Assamite Combination Disciplines - PC: Coordinator Approval - NPC: Coordinator Approval - Coordinator: Assamite

    1. Baal's Sight

    2. Draught of the Soul/Drink the Mind (Assamite Version)

    3. Eyes of Alamut

    4. Eyes of Blades

    5. Forced March/Long March

    6. Honeyed Words

    7. Retain the Quick Blood (Assamite Version)

    8. Shadow Feint

    9. Truth of Blood

Reasoning: In the Tremere Coord’s recent proposal, the combination discipline Drink the Mind was going to be regulated. It was pointed out that both Assamites and Tremere developed this power, therefore we are regulating them separately. This is the Assamite side of that proposal. Regarding why it is written this way in the bylaws, Draught of the Soul and Drink the Mind are the same power mechanically. This also closes the loop-hole of being able to purchase a regulated power by a different unregulated name.
 
Drink the Mind (Assamite Version) is defined as the combination discipline Drink the Mind from Guide to the Low Clans, pg 160 that has the requirements of Auspex 4 and Quietus 5.
 
Legacy Exemption: There are no Legacy Exemptions for Drink the Mind (Assamite Version). Those who have approval from the Assamite Office for Draught of the Soul also have approval for Drink the Mind (Assamite Version).
