In play
Bastard: diplomacy falls by 1, dynasty opinion falls by 15, legitimacy gain falls by 10%, and opinion of bastard characters rises by 5. Bastard changes diplomacy (-1). That row is the one to plan around. Legitimized Bastard, Wild Oat, and Disputed Heritage sit on the other side of this trait.
How to get Bastard
- Gain: Given at birth to a child born outside marriage, unless the faith has the No Bastards doctrine; in that case the child gets Wild Oat instead.
- Remove or lose: The Legitimize Bastard interaction (under the Legitimization doctrine) turns it into Legitimized Bastard. A bastard who founds a new dynasty becomes a Bastard Founder.
