Hold Action & Investiture
In a message dated 97-05-09 01:59:02 EDT, you write:

That's the way I interpret it. I would think that the best use for this
action would be if you knew that a neighboring regrent was going to declare
war against you, or some other severe circumstance.

This refers to score. I don't think that this is awkward, because this is
only used when the regent to be divested is UNwilling. Then, it makes
perfect sense. If a Tainted regent (score 12) wanted to steal an unwilling
Major regent's domain (score 48), then making it nigh impossible (+36 on d20)
for the theft to occur is perfectly acceptable, simply because the Major
regents ties to the land are just too strong to be broken by the Tainted one.

POST EM!!! POST EM!!!!
Good luck,
