Trade Perks

Below are the new trade perks! We have also included some Q&As to help with things a little. If you have questions or if anything is unclear, please ask in the Discord thread for the perks!

Please remember these are NOT live and should not be used anywhere on site aside from the proper testing area!

Extra/Special Notes
After discussions with the Trade Team, the following new guidelines will apply to trades. These changes will be explained and reflected in the Guidebook.

• If a perk stipulates "pride", it is also applicable to marked band members. If a perk says "band", it only applies to marked band members.
• We will no longer be allowing trades to be doubled-up on for Master and Sub-Master. Every character will need to have different Master and Sub-Master trades – i.e., you can’t be both a Master and Sub-Master Ranger on the same account.
• When engaging in fights (excluding DMs), there are limits to the extra dice you can claim from different perks. You can claim:
• All of your own dice perks (perks resulting from your own trade levels or from your rank within the pride);
• +1 dice from the occupational perk of another character/pride-member (i.e. Lead Scout +1 luck perk); and
• +1 dice from someone else’s trade perk (i.e. +1 luck from a Master Pathfinder).

In other words, you cannot stack multiple trade or occupational perks from others. For example, if there are 3 Master Pathfinders in a given thread, you can only claim one +1 luck, not +3 luck.

Q&As
During testing, we will be adding to the Q&As as things come up in the discord channel. Be sure to check back every so often to see what has been added. These Q&As will be added to the guidebook for each trade as well.

AMBASSADOR

Level 1: +1 to luck rolls
Level 2: Can oversee rank challenges and approve promotions on behalf of leadership (up to and including occupational ranks; excludes prisoners)
Level 3: Can recruit regardless of rank in Maua’s Passage
Level 4: Become a master of charm (+1 to dodge rolls)
Level 5: Can defend members of their pride or an allied pride against theft regardless of rank

MASTER PERKS (pick two)

• Can hold elections to save their pride or an allied pride from disbanding (thread must begin within 48 hours of disbandment notification)
• Extends the cooldown of their pride after a challenge by 1 OOC month (must remain a member of the pride during this time)
• Knows the names of all pride leaders and their alliances
• 50% chance to prevent a theft challenge from being made against them when in any pride-lands
• Home-turf advantage (+1 luck to pride-mates and allies when fighting in the Ambassador’s pride-lands)

SUB-MASTER PERKS (pick one)

• Can hold elections to save their pride or an allied pride from disbanding (thread must begin within 48 hours of disbandment notification)
• Knows the names of all pride leaders and their alliances
• Home-turf advantage (+1 luck to pride-mates and allies when fighting in the Ambassador’s pride-lands)

Q&As
Are leaders still able to overrule a lvl 2 ambassador perk?

• Yes they are able to if they wish to.

Can rogue level 3 ambassadors recruit in the passage to start a band?

• No, this is only viable for characters who are in a pride or band already

Are rogue level 5 ambassadors locked out of that perk?

• Yes they are.

How is an election to save a pride from disbanding done?

• When a disbandment has been decided and there is not a current subleader able to take over the pride, Sr Staff starts making their way down the ranks. Higher ranked characters with the ability to save the pride from disbandment are contacted. If they accept, then the process for their perk starts.
• For Ambasssador saving their own pride: Sr Staff will contact the member, they accept and will have 48 hours to start the thread in their pride lands calling the members to them and having a “vote” of who will be the new leader. ICly this can play out in whatever way feels the most natural, a fight, vote by voice, etc. The thread must be finished and a new leader decided within two weeks of being started. If it is not finished and a new leader clearly accepted, the pride will disband.
• For Ambasssador saving an allied pride: Must be listed on the pride page before disbandment. Sr Staff will contact the member based on highest rank in the pride, they accept and will have 48 hours to start the thread in the allied pride lands calling the members to them and having a “vote” of who will be the new leader. ICly this can play out in whatever way feels the most natural, a fight, vote by voice, etc. The thread must be finished and a new leader decided within two weeks of being started. If it is not finished and a new leader clearly accepted, the pride will disband.
• Whatever character is selected, must meet all leadership requirements prior to taking the role.

How does extending the cooldown for a pride after a challenge work?

• If the current pride leader wins, the ambassador needs to have already been in the pride and remain in the pride until the end of the cooldown. Whatever cooldown the pride leader is given after the challenge, one month is added on. If the ambassador leaves or goes inactive before the end of the extra month, the remainder of the cooldown perk is lost. If a new leader wins or gains the pride via a claim, the ambassador must join the pride prior to the original cooldown ending and must remain a member of the pride until the added cooldown is finished.
