## Gameplay additions
- Added a loyalty mechanic to knights:
- Knights will now leave your court if their opinion drops below 0. You get a 1-year grace period to raise their opinion again
- Knights are automatically loyal if: you have a strong hook on them, they're your bound wraith/herdmember/dreamer/thrall/host, they're under a geas of protection, or they're your spouse, councilor, Coterie member, friend, or soulmate
- Added a new optional game rule: Samuel Haight Mode. It is DISABLED by default. Enabling it loosens various restrictions on splat-mixing:
- Certain decisions and interactions from the character creator are unlocked by default, e.g. asking for the Embrace, or becoming a Ghoul by draining a Vampire prisoner
- Any splat can learn all the Numina
- True Faith and Infernalism are no longer mutually exclusive
- Every embraced Shapeshifter becomes an Abomination
- Fae-blooded characters keep the ability to use Cantrips after the embrace
- Supernatural characters might get the Lament or Psychic traits on birth
- The Dhampyr trait is no longer mutually exclusive with other splat traits on birth
- Half-splats (like Ghoul) are no longer removed upon Chrysalis, the First Change, or becoming a Shapeshifter via Alchemy
- Shapeshifters can be ghouled
- Ghouls don't lose Kinfolk or Kinain traits
- Any Vampire can awaken their Hun & P'o if they befriend a Salubri Watcher
- Added Storyteller Mode, intended for more experienced players:
- Increases the opinion requirement for knight loyalty to 50
- Decreases resonance experience gain for every discipline you have beyond the starting 3 (-20% each)
- Added some legitmizing Legends for the Fae
- Added a new duchy building for Bane Mummies
- Added an effect to the Favour of the Yama Kings perk (Kuei-Jin Demon Arts)
- Inner Circle members of the Camarilla now get the option to nominate Justicars of their choosing
- Custom characters now also have the option to become an Asekh-Sen or get possessed by a Demon when changing their splat
- A Thrall trying to put their demonic master in prison might get a Nasty Surprise

## Gameplay changes
- Added Epidemic resistance and Legitimacy effects to many POD perks
- Infiltration mission changes: They're mostly harder, but you can also improve at them over time
- You now need to find a key before you can open the vault. Illustrious artifacts require 2 keys
- Suspicion events now have more difficult skill checks and harsher Suspicion penalties
- Skill checks on the map increase more in difficulty at higher Suspicion. Failures will cause wounds or stress. Also, Prowess checks are harder than the other stats
- Negative modifiers from Infiltration events now last for 10 years instead of 5
- Raised the general opinion penalty for getting caught (-20 -> -30) and it now lasts for 20 years instead of 10
- Lowered the Suspicion cost of side objectives to make up for the increased difficulty of the main objective
- Added 3 new suspicion events (many thanks to karde)
- Exiting an Infiltration now makes your victim wary (whether you succeeded or not). Infiltrations against the same target are more difficult for 20 years
- Infiltration Journeys will now send you to the target's capital, not their location
- After finishing 3 Infiltration missions, you get a modifier that makes future Infiltrations slightly easier. This stacks up to 5 times
- Changed the mechanics around the Summon scheme
- The diplomacy and intrigue challenge fires when the scheme is started
- Along with the regular success/fail, you can also critically fail or succeed on the challenge either hastening the scheme or preventing you from using it on the target for a set amount of time
- Maintaining the summon scheme may cost a blood point per month
- Halved the opinion penalty for summon, and if the target already likes you, negating it
- Failing the scheme prevents summoning the target for 10 years, critically failing for 50 years
- Further details are in the Summon scheme encyclopedia entry
- The "Bring the Plague" interaction (Daimonion) now makes the caster fall out of Golconda
- Added dev growth to cultural innovations #A starting stopgap measure that should help ease the plague apocalypse going on
- Nerfed demonic lores stuff
- Ghoulifying a parent after the mother already became pregnant won't result in Revenants anymore
- Vampires get preference in multiplayer when a Great Person spawns
- If a player in multiplayer refuses to take a Great Person, they won't be forced on other players anymore
- Refusing someone who challenges you to a boardgame now only makes them mad for 5 years, instead of forever
- The Black Death game rule from pre LoD is back #So you can disable the BD as before if you prefer
- Replaced pacifism with unrelenting faith as a Shih doctrine #Pacifism made little sense for them, they are hunters after all, and blocked holy wars and raiding
- Nerfed the Qiao lifestyles #Since the above is an overall buff to the Shih, nerfed their unique lifestyles to keep them as the intended relatively difficult faction
- Removed or replaced most instances of faith_creation_cost_mul #While we don't expressly want to remove faith creation as an option, we also don't want to encourage it either due to the numerous issues it causes
- Made the Ventrue objective harder to achieve for the AI only #Reports of it being routinely achieved in the battle royale bookmark
- Lowered the stat penalty for clones (like Shadow Twin) since they only copy the original's base stats now

- Updated some religion requirements to take all supernatural versions of Abrahamic religions into account

- Nerfed Perfection of the First Age (Kuei-Jin Soul Arts)
- Nerfed Implacable Vengeance (Demon Arcana)
- Tweaked building cost scaling with cultural eras
- Added legitimacy gains (and some losses) to some PoD decisions
- The epidemic frequency game rule now defaults to "fewer" in PoD #You likely will have to reset your game rule to default
- Closing the trait editing window (e.g. from Reweaving) now doesn't trigger the cooldown from its respective character interaction
- Wraith clones (like the Separated Khaibit) can't be bound anymore
