Greetings all, this has probably been covered before, if so, can someone
direct me to the archive site?

In the BR rulebook, the Decree action is said to be a "a catch-all for
special missions the regent wants his subordinates to undertake. A
decree cannot affect another regent's domain in any way..." Sounds easy
enough, but then it goes to list examples of the effects of a decree
(pg. 53), and most of these examples would seem to affect another
regents domain IMO.

If the Decree action can be used to order your subordinates to do
things, where is the "line" between a decree move & say an espionage
move? When does it become a Lieutenant action? I.E. I want peon #1 to
arresst NPC #1. Is this a decree order, an espionage order or what?
What other kind of things can a decree do? Could a decree affect a
diplomacy action? (IE. If Grabentod were to decree that piracy was no
longer sanctioned by the Government, and was hence forth illegal, then
tried to negotiate peace with Muden, would the decree grant any
modifiers to the success roll?)
I also seem to remember reading somewhere that a regent who makes too
many decrees begins to "loose face" with other regents. Can anyone
refresh my memory as to where this came from, and what possible effects
might occur?

Thanks All!
