Proposal Type: Bylaw Revision

OWBN's Coordinator Bylaws, 3.C.iii. state: "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."
I Christian Debats, in my duties as Wraith Coordinator do hereby propose the following change to the Rare and Unusual bylaws.
Place “Risen” in 3.D.1
Due to the feedback from the survey our HC has gotten from players, STs, CMs, and Coords; I see no reason to bog council down with this type of vote. The Wraith coordinator is placed in office in order to make determinations regarding the Wraith genre. While it should obviously be rare it is within the Wraith Coords purview, and we suggest that the knowledge and skill with which to make this determination exists within this office.

| Allentown, PA - USA, Steel Valley by Night | Against | Loosening the restrictions on Risen from Council Vote to Coord approval means the potential for greater proliferation of items and an expansion of the powers arms race. Furthermore, the fact that Wraith, let alone the Risen were never given a revised printing means their powers balance differently with more current material. Because of these factors, we believe Council (with Wraith Coord input) is the best choice for approval of this character type. This comment has been revised 1 time.

| Green Bay, WI - USA, Shattered Dreams | For | There are a lot of factors here that would prevent a revenge killing. The two top ones are, 1. xp when someone go's from a PC kindred or what not to a risen they will lose all their supernatural powers (disciplines) and they will have to spend time and xp too get back to the power level to kill their target. 2. If they do manage to kill their target, then in essence they are killing their own character because what motivation would they have to stay around.
So in short, my enemy just became my savior and friend.
