The ruler has the ability to change the status of others around him. There are limits, like if the other player is higher level than him. Or the changes are completely against that player’s personality. He also can’t change things like levels, stats or skill. It seems to not have as many limitations when dealing with the inhabitants or NPCs as the ruler will refer to them as. But so far he’s only done certain things in general: stop others from trying to harm him, make them obedient to him or basically make women have sex with him. He also can change his own status to change his appearance. Other times he just uses blackmail to control others if needed.
