	Though the list is not exhaustive, be aware of game balance and game effects when adding new descriptors. Bear in mind that descriptors with drastic effects should normally be placed in '''Traits''' rather than '''Boons''', as ''Boons'' are very easy to come by in-game. Also, it is generally a bad idea to give Boons that encourage Bishops to stay at home, as Bishops are the key aggressive pieces in Winter Intrigues, and ~~a game~~ will ~~stagnate quickly if you over-encourage defensive strategies~~.

			===Intrigue Variant Objective===
			The Bishop has a unique objective which he can declare when acting on '''Winter Intrigues'''. The effect of attaining the objective needs to be established when this Trait is gained. For example, on a successful Intrigue with the ''Thievery'' objective, the Bishop could steal D6 points of Glamour. This intrigue variant objective replaces one of the objectives that the bishop could normally attempt. For example, ''thievery'' could replace ''kidnap''.
