Ok, enough people have complained that I have to know. What on earth is so confusing about the stats? The names? I am really and truly mystified. Now if there is some way in which they were poorly or confusing applied, please let me know but the names are…self-explanatory! Like, we usually try to get authors to be a bit clever with the names of stats and no dig on Charles, but these are not amazingly creative and I struggle to understand why people are finding them confusing.*
Though etiquette is actually:
Stature is a basic secondary stat that tracks progress toward regaining your position as heir.
Guild Premium Membership is effectively how much of a “damsel” or “imperiled person” you are/how well you followed the rules of the Damsel Guild. How much learned helplessness you’re displaying/roleplaying.
Freelance Damsel is the opposite: you go your own way, you’re not a conventional in distress type.
Guild Demerits …are what they sound like! This one only impacts a few choices/flavor moments at the end of the game. It’s just for fun.
