In play
Callous: diplomacy falls by 2, intrigue rises by 2, courtly vassal opinion falls by 10, tyranny gain falls by 20%, dread gain rises by 25%, dread decay falls by 25%, attraction opinion falls by 5, and close family opinion falls by 5. Callous makes tyranny cheaper and dread stickier. Courtly vassals and close family like it less. Compassionate and Sadistic sit on the other side of this trait.
How to get Callous
- Gain: Callous comes from childhood events beside Arrogant and Compassionate, or Just and Greedy; a Callous guardian makes it likelier.
- Remove or lose: If your adult heir has Callous, the Family focus event A Flaw of Character lets you coach them out of it and gives them Compassionate instead. If your faith counts Callous as a sin, the pilgrimage event with a local guru and the Mendicant Mystics tradition event A Mystic's Wrath can swap it for Compassionate.
