    Administration Proficiency

    Howdy!

    Under the Administration Proficiency, it says that:

    "With a successful check, he can also use this skill to reduce the base
    Gold Bar cost of any domain action by 1."

    Now, as I read it, this implies that you can only apply this proficiency
    once on a single domain action in a domain turn. Do I have this wrong?
    Could a regent apply this skill to every domain action in each action
    round? (effectively using it all 3 times?) Coupled with the 25%
    reduction in maintenance already, and the fact that it is only a single
    slot, I think this later interpretation is a bit much.
    What say you all?

    BTW, what's with the new TSR mail lists? They finally unlocked the new
    BR list, but it automatically sets you to digest mode???!!! What's with
    that??

    Aye, I really don't like the way they have the digest form set up. Is there
    any way to change it to just receiving the letters individually?To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@lists.imagiconline.com

    IMC I only allow players to gain the 25% maintenance reduction - I ignored
    this last ability. As a single slot proficiency it is already pretty good
    without
    adding anything else.

    If I allowed this ability at all I would certainly restrict it to just one
    action each
    domain turn. Although I can't really see any rationale apart from game
    balance...

    I know. It's incredibly irritating...

    Administration Proficiency

    The Administration proficiency check is an easy one to abuse (ahem - I've
    done it a time or 2 myself). I think Morg's interpretation that it can only
    be used in 1 action round (ie month) per turn (ie 3 months) seems to be a
    good one. The problem with allowing the use of the proficiency check to
    reduce action costs by 1 GB every month is that the characters who REALLY
    need this benefit (wizards, Rjurik regents, and most Vos regents) are
    totally illogical choices to have the proficiency. Anuirean or Khinasi
    warlords benefit greatly from the 25% maintenance reduction, and it makes
    sense to me that these characters might be great administrators. Where did
    a wizard, who should spend any spare time studying magic, or a Rjurik or Vos
    warrior, who should be scratching and clawing to retain his birthright, find
    the time to figure out how to efficiently fund the creation of a spy network
    or a temple to his/her favorite god?
