The Bishop: 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, 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.
