First, the "cause this rule to" boilerplate only exists to work around a restriction on rule changes in Power Controls Mutability; there's no need for it here. > 1) "Provided they don't describe any entities not belonging to the PoA," > ---> > "Provided they don't describe any entities not belonging > exclusively to the PoA," This is a pretty strict limitation, as if a report even mentions in passing any properties of things outside the PoA, it could be considered to fail this test. > 2) "or set properties of entities pertaining to the PoA" > ---> > "or set properties of entities pertaining exclusively to the PoA" "Pertaining exclusively" is still vague; "entities of the PoA" would be better, but both clauses you're correcting are basically unnecessary. IMO, to the extent that the Province of Agora is purely "imaginary" and has no impact on the rest of the game, there's no need to confuse things by bringing in concepts like self-ratifying and adding or removing entities; just say that the DM can generally change the internal state of the PoA by announcement, and perhaps some text to the effect that reports are similar to self-ratifying, but only within the scope of the PoA.
