Rationale

 

----

 

A few things have accumulated; none are emergencies, so I waited until there were enough to prop several fixes at once.  Opening up Baali Lore 1-2 to notify for schismatic Assamites is at the Assamite Coord’s request, and I agree that they should be included in the group of PC types with improved access, based on the themes of their Clan and the work PCs have put in, as well as genre background elements such as their library (Chase can go into detail on that if he likes).

 

Next, one of my Subcoords found a completely different Merit with the same name as Blessed from Sins of the Blood, so I’ve added clarity as to which is covered by these bylaws.

 

Finally, I was recently asked by a Fallen player about the possibility of purchasing True Faith.  Fallen interact with Faith differently than any other creature type: they harvest it from mortals and use it to fuel their power.  When they were Angels, they were fueled with a supply of faith by God.  Thematically, they should not be able to generate their own Faith: it is part of their tragedy, as a genre, and what separates them from humans.  In fact, use of True Faith by other genre characters is one of the most effective weapons against Fallen PCs, and I believe it would be unbalancing when used by one Fallen PC against another.
