Seneschal

## Overview

A Seneschal serves as the manager of the noble estate as well as an event organizer.

## Sabotage

A Player may choose to use Sabotage to make it appear that they are performing a Monthly Action for their Lord, but no Reward is actually generated from the action.

The Player chooses a Monthly Action as normal, pays the Cost, rolls to succeed and determines the Reward. Then the Player opts to attempt a Sabotage roll. This will remove 1d6+2 of the Monthly Action's Reward. The Player then rolls her Character's Cunning(Any), Deception(Any), Knowledge(Any), Stealth(Any) or Thievery(Any) at the same Difficulty as the original Monthly Action.

If the Sabotage roll is successful, the Lord will see only the full amount of Reward and the Player will look like a compliant subject. If the roll fails, the Lord will see the Sabotage and there may be consequences.
