thank you very much for the suggestions! These clarifications are definitely things I’d want to include in a 2nd edition, if I ever make one. Your instincts as a Butler (to let the secret passage stand, and to let NPGs murder other NPGs via Manipulate) are how I’d rule it as well. The rules are all squishy since it’s an RPG, so the Butler should feel free to do whatever seems to work for the table. Thanks for playing!!
