As a GM, I'm not wedded to multiples of five. If we figured that one of these was worth 12 points, I'd be fine with that.
Makes sense to me too, if it’s more restrictive than -10, and allows more options than a similar -15, call it a -12.

For the slight difference between them, ye could split it as -12 for Use only Improvised Weapons and -13 for Carry No Weapons (or even Use Only Immediately Improvised Weapons)... a quirky restriction on a Vow :)
