[PROPOSAL] [SECOND] Creation of New Bylaw Category

I, Adam Sartori, CM for Kings of New York propose the following to the OWBN Council:

Creation of a New Bylaw Category:  Mechanics Bylaws

This new category will contain any and all Binding Game Mechanics for the Rules we use to play One World by Night.  The reason I am proposing this is for ease of use of players, Storytellers, and Coordinators.  As it stands right now, several Game Mechanic Bylaws are also in the Character bylaws.  This can be confusing for everyone and they don’t know what to look for.  The goal of this new category would be to have a small easy to use quick reference for any Org Wide Binding mechanic rules we have made.

For example: Currently this rule exists in Character bylaws:

“A Vampire PC may never take more than 10 Actions in a single round of combat regardless of source or power.

This maximum Action rule cap does not apply to any power, discipline, or ability that creates or summons another creature. As that would be the creature's own actions and not the characters. Examples of this include, but are not limited to, Arms of the Abyss, Summon Elemental, Power over Life, etc.”

Should this proposal pass, it will allow the Exec team to go through the existing bylaws for any and all already passed Binding Rules Mechanics and move them to the new Category of Mechanics Bylaws.  Additionally, it will allow future CMs and Coords to have a much smaller and easier to access section of the Bylaws to make proposals for any future Binding Org Game Mechanics they may feel is necessary.

We hope this will help OWBN better organize and access information to its members.  We hope it is the first of many steps to update, and streamline our bylaws for ease of use for all of us.  The Bylaws are very confusing and vast, we need to take another look at all of them, and I think this is a good first step for that and empower our Exec team to be enabled with the power they need to do so.

This Proposal will need a Second.
