Proposal Type: Bylaw Revision
Opened: 13-Jan-2026 12:00AM EST
Closing: 20-Jan-2026 12:00AM EST


I, Josh "Pumpkin" Griep, propose the follow addition to Mechanics Bylaw 2.a.i.

Pursuant to Coordinator Bylaw section 3.C.iii: Genre Coordinators must pass before Council any plot, R&U bylaw revision, R&U named characters, Coordinator-NPC Character Resurrections, territory requests, in character enforced policy, or in character 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.

  14. Bygone Powers


---------------

Justification

---------------



Recently more and more players have gained access, through merits or character types, to spirit charms and bygone powers. Given that these potent abilities are not listed in the bylaws as counting towards the power type limit, characters are currently able to stack them on top of existing powers.



This was proposed before the winter break, pulled for a clarification vote which has since passed. So round two!

Legacy

---------------



None
