New Abilities

• Area of Jurisdiction (Territory): Sheriffs are always connected to their own Area of Jurisdiction, granting them certain bonuses depending on their familiarity with their area.

  • Prohibition: By using it, they can formulate rules that Prohibit certain actions or states, forcing everything in a certain range to comply.
    • For Prohibition to activate, a Judge must first describe the Prohibition in any manner that is similar to this: "This place Prohibits the action/use of".

      • They can also Prohibit certain entities within an area. Examples of this are Prohibiting the existence of beings such as Specters and Wraiths.
    • If there is a difference in level between them and their targets, a Judge's targets will be able to resist the rules set by them to a certain extent.

  • Stripped Beyonder powers are made unusable for a certain period of time.
