The Rook: Advice to the Adjudicator
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, note that to encourage forward movement and aggression, the defensive Boons for Rooks tend to be one or two points weaker than the offensive Boons for Bishops and Knights.
