Hi Matt,

Thanks for the clarification. The only downside to that is that the Carthian Lawyer Merit is unclear as to what it does. There are no supporting mechanics, at least not that i'm aware of (admittedly I don't have access to the book today).

What *does* the Carthian Lawyer Merit do? Unconsciously manipulate the Carthian Law seems somewhat vague.

The Merit allows a Carthian to manipulate the Law somewhat (even then, the character might not know what he's doing).
