I would rule the lieutenant vassal still has three actions, but they are
limited to his own realm, he still can perform only one realm action for the
realm at large. Likewise, he can use his own store of GB's and RP's for his
own actions, but is limited as per the rules when he acts as a lieutenant.

Most lieutenant's don't have the resources to use all three turns.

For example, lets assume Eluvie Cariele has a problem with Sielwode. So she
appoints her landrunner (ranger) lieutenant as count of Deepshadow and
Warden of the North. As count of Deepshaow, the Lt gets 5 RP's (3 for the
land, 2 for the law), and d4 GB's for taxtion. He is charged with defending
Deepshadow against all enemies from these resources. As Warden of the North
he is given additional resources to maintain a unit of knights, and build a
fortress. Eluvie Cariele often assigns realm actions in the north to her
Lt, so she can concentarte on the Chimera and Osoerde. The Lt performs the
Lt action, and has two remaining realm actions based on his megre resources.

It is certainly possible that vassals may grow into allies. IMC, NPC Kurt
Warkinde gave PC Osmund Skullsplitter (blooded Rjurik Priest of Kirken) some
GB's and assigned him the mission of starting temples in Kiergard. It
didn't take long before Osmund's realm was nearly as powerful as Warkinde's.
The fact that Osmund was a close friend of the Overthane of Baruk-Azhik did
not hurt.
