Exactly! I think a vote is very premature at this point! I sort of
had that in the back of my mind when I pointed out that the poll left
out many viable options and locked us into a false tri-chotomy. Just
wish I had been able to articulate it that clearly to begin with!

Except it says specifically " Daemons from the same Power do not need
to make animosity checks". Still: it is more expansive than the poll
results: I kind of want to play-test the rule as it stands before
making sweeping reforms here!
So in essence the rule as written is even more stern than what I

I vote that the above is what the current Poll should be: moreover, I
think that it needs to be playtested out by voters rather than making
'gut' decisions here.

I like it too: that was the gist of my option '4' in my counter-proposals.

The perfect solution indeed! What's that quote? "Instead of making
the game more restrictive, allow the players more flexibility....?"
...something like that....
