Court Chaplain no longer replacing?

[fishey_me]

I'm playing Dawit Gideon of Dambiyya, and my rabban / court chaplain died in a plague or something, and it isn't replacing. I've been running on 3 speed, no replacement. I closed the game and reopened, no replacement. I'm not sure what else to do, short of reforming my faith.

According to the latest patch notes:
- Ensured that you can choose your own chaplain, instead of it being auto-filled, if you have ruler clerical appointment.
So you should be able to manually appoint a court chaplain, similar to other council positions, if your religion has temporal clerical appointment.

That's another problem, then. When I click the + it says "cannot assign a new councillor."

The councillor role next to your wife and above your steward?

i think that might be a realm priest which is automatically chosen for u bc of the theology doctrine

if not then it might be a bug

Do you have someone available to select that is qualified?

They can't already have/be a court position/advisor (I think - just being a knight might even block them if it is not a religion that allows theocratic warriors), need to be physically present in your court as a courtier (or be a vassal), and need to be of the correct religion/sexual orientation to fill the position. If you have available qualified people travelling or actively involved in events (like a feast, hunt, or tourney) that may block an appointment as well until they return home - but I'm not certain of it.

Positions that are filled by a head of faith that IS NOT you will have auto selected/generated characters fill them - I don't think that happens with directly appointed theocratic positions.

Isolation of your capitol (for a plague) may also block vassals from travelling to fill advisor roles - I have never tried to fill a vacant one from outside my own courtiers during an isolation.

Can you check your faith's rules on how realm priests / court chaplains are assigned? Not all faiths auto assign one. And if it does auto fill I believe it requires an available clergy member to be available somewhere in the world. You can use the find court physician decision to get a learning education character to fill the role if you pick them yourself.

I was playing at the time Haymanot Jewish. My whole court was Haymanot Jewish, including my knights and court physician (though by that point, I had my daughter serving the role, and she can't be a Rabban)
The rule was "Temporal - For Life"
Even after the plague ended and my capital was no longer isolated, I couldn't add a new councilor. I had to reform my faith just to keep playing the game because the church holdings were putting me over my domain limit (those are supposed to be leased to the court chaplain).
I reported it on the Paradox forums. It seems to be a bug; other folks of other faiths are having the same problem.

Actually, depending on the Faith, one of the options is that the ruler, not the court chaplain, owns the temples. But I agree with there being a bug atm with the Temporal option.

Yeah, this is not working for even Ash'ari Sunni, unfortunately. Pretty big blunder this got through QA tbh.

I’m wondering if the bug is tied to “temporal - for life”. As Bori, “temporal - revocable” seemed to be working fine this morning.
