343.11 // New Instance: Department Changes

Post by The Jedi Council »

Greetings members of JEDI,

As of now, the required monthly lessons for all HODs will be reduced from 2 to 1 per month. In addition this will see the monthly XP grants for HODs also be reduced to 5XP per month, putting it on par with taking on a Padawan. This will come into effect next month (November). As of now we expect HODs to continue as usual, as this announcement is being made mid-month so everyone can begin to plan accordingly.

The main reason for this change is because the Council feels two lessons a month exhausts lesson plans and exercise ideas of mentors to quickly, so requiring one lesson per month will space out these ideas.

However, with this change we'd also like to put an emphasis on general RP in the role of HOD. This can involve small temple RP, additional lessons, discussions, arcs, events, missions, etc.

The similar philosophy of taking on a Padawan will then be applied to departments where the Council will expect consistency in the role as HOD - providing ongoing RP related to one's respective department as a mentor would to a Padawan.

In other words, doing one lesson a month for your department will not be enough and HODs could face losing their position if they are consistently only doing their required lesson and nothing else. Being a HOD is an opportunity to stimulate RP, even on a small scale, meaning simple discussions between members of a department about relevant matters is something the Council will like to see.

As always, if there are any questions or concerns about these changes, feel free to contact the Council.
