选择家庭焦点
的角色获得 +2 外交, +1 健康 和 +25% 生育率的效果。
焦点可触发的随机事件
随机触发的事件可以让你改善家族近亲的关系:
- With your spouse(s), increase opinion and eventually become lover
- With your siblings, stop rivalry, then increase opinion and eventually gain friendship
- With your parents or children, stop rivalry and then increase opinion
- Between two of your close dynasty members, stop rivalry,then increase opinion and eventually gain friendship
- Between two of your non-adult children, increase opinion
Those events can only fire if the characters involved (you included anyway) are capable, not in prison, and won't fire if you are leading an army or ill. Having 
trait will increase the chance of all events, and seduction focus level will increase the chance of spouse event.
Those events have a chance to fire the Family focus level up event, in which you may:
- gain
(or lose 
) - level up diplomacy education trait
- progress toward
(+3 Diplomacy, +10 Sex appeal opinion) or 
(+2 Diplomacy, +1 Martial, +30% battlefield Narrow Flank) lifestyle trait through Family Man/Woman(+10% fertility) and Family Patriarch/Matriarch(+1 diplomacy, +20% fertility, +5 church opinion) character modifiers. You can gain the character modifiers even after having gained or lifestyle trait.
Ambition events
If your diplomacy skill is below 8, the following events may occur to help improve it:
- Feud between two peasants
- Practise in front of mirror
- A man wants to suicide (the above three events can only be done once per lifetime in total)
- Town crier
- Foreign cultures
- Old diplomat (the above three events can occur multiple times until any once per lifetime event mentioned above is completed)
These events also exist without 
Way of Life DLC. Without the DLC, they instead require the Improve Diplomacy ambition, which similarly requires having less than 8 diplomacy skill.
