JamesI: None of your rights allow you to bypass the moves or basic rules, unless they say so specifically and by name. So "you have the right to slay whom you want" doesn't let you just declare them slain, you still have to somehow inflict the required harm.
I'll be sure to make this clear, thank you!
This makes TR go "The right to be a Dog"
The right to slay who you want is much like being one of God's Watchdogs, right? It implies a morality built into the fabric of the world and gives it over to the player to define. Or is that a false comparison?
This makes VB go "sort of, yeah!"
Many of these rights are remnants of older systems, displaced or driven underground by the Empire of Eagles and then the new nobility. The people around you might not recognize your right at all. So it's like being a Dog when there's a Territorial marshall in town too.
This makes TR go "This is massively interesting"
to me! Do you create the origin of the right and where it comes from when you take the advance?
