Compassionate: diplomacy rises by 2, intrigue falls by 2, minority vassal opinion rises by 15, courtly vassal opinion rises by 10, dread decay rises by 100%, natural dread falls by 15, attraction opinion rises by 5, and opinion of characters with an opposite trait falls by 15. Compassion spends dread. Minority vassals and courtly vassals approve. Callous and Sadistic sit on the other side of this trait.
How to get Compassionate
- Gain: Compassionate appears in childhood events beside Arrogant and Callous, or Lazy and Gluttonous. A Compassionate guardian and the Charitable tradition raise the odds, and Wards and Wardens gives player children a Compassionate or Sadistic choice. If your adult heir is Callous or Sadistic, the Family focus event A Flaw of Character can replace either with Compassionate. 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.
- Remove or lose: It only flips to Callous if your faith counts Compassionate as a sin.
