Re: Wizard Vows
Gotcha on the flavor thing. Out of curiosity, what rationalization do your wizards use for not using edged weapons? Are you going for the "can't shed blood" thing that's normally used with priests, or something different?

Personally, I wouldn't say that if you break a Vow it's automatically gone and you have to pay the points. I'd say that the character would have to go on a "quest of redemption" (the phrase sounds silly when referring to anything other than typical fantasy, doesn't it?) as well as suffer from social repercussions. Unless the PC truly is going out of her way to break the Vow, in which case she would have to pay the points and still suffer from the social issues. |

Re: Wizard Vows
Those are not "anything that does cutting, impaling, or piercing damage." If they do crushing damage, they're fine.

In the text for Vow, the only time it talks about what happens if you don't keep the Vow, is when you end it early. It doesn't say anything about Vows that are supposed to be kept for ever. But it does say that you have to take the Vow seriously. In my mind, that means that if you break the Vow, you don't take it seriously and you'll lose it and have to pay the points back. Though if you want to get it back, you could still show that you were serious about it. And I'd suggest that the GM exacted penalty for ending it early, perhaps "[undertaking] a quest by way of penance" would be sufficient to do so. And by so doing you'd get the Vow back aswell as the points you've just lost. |

Flat of a blade is a bladed weapon. A blunt arrow is not an arrow fired backwards, it's an arrow with no sharp parts.
