The Ogboni
WIP
The Ogboni are essentially a religious cult (or secret society) among the Yoruba people. One of their functions is to provide a check on a ruler’s power. While the ruler has the power of life and death over his subjects, the Ogboni have the power of life and death over the ruler. The Ogboni expects the ruler to be virtuous, and to lead the people with wisdom and honor. Failure to do so may cost the ruler his/her life.
For gameplay purposes I’ve essentially created "illegitimacy" points.
1. Sinful traits = 40 points
2. Virtuous traits = -40 points
3. new modifier = -40 points
4. imprisonment reason = 20
5. 1 pt tyranny = 1 point
If at any time a character gets over 100 points, has an execute reason, or over 160 tyranny, the Ogboni can force that ruler to commit ritual suicide.
The player should receive a warning any time the Ogboni thinks they are crossing a line.
In case anyone is wondering the image I chose is that of an Ogboni edan: basically two figures, one male, one female, chained together.
