Proposed changes for age 74:
Lots of new dynamics to think about for this age. The proposed changes will give you an idea of our thoughts at the moment. We look forward to your feedback and will revise these based on reactions and suggestions.
You'll notice immediate major change that Undead is no longer a race but a personality and Elf has returned.
Stances are being removed and will have new Rituals to help with some of the consequences of this. We do want to add more Rituals than are listed, we'd like initial feedback on what is listed and will revise the list in a few days based on feedback and suggestions.
