The Pawn: 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.

Its generally not a good idea to overload Pawns with descriptors, or else the game gets too tricksy. At the start of the game, it is suggested that Pawns either have one trait each, or one boon and one drawback.
