Right, so it belongs on the list :D

136) my fate character can't have "get drunk fight bears" as an aspect

[Nereidalbel]

137) I can't use a Great Wish to send the Ginosaji after the Big Bad.
137a) Nor can I wish to become the Ginosaji

138) My paladin's warcry is not "YOLO"

139) I may not have a super who got his powers from being bitten by a radioactive hippopotamus

Can I keep my Superhero whose powers are based on him being bitten by a radiated, zomibe, psychic, mutant Killer whale ?

"Radiated Zombie Psychic Mutant Killer Whale Man, Radiated Zombie Psychic Mutant Killer Whale Man,
Does whatever a Radiated Zombie Psychic Mutant Killer Whale can."

Nope. Just doesn't scan.

Pretty sure Pacifism's not a self-inflicted disad, more of a psychological condition. There's Vow to cover the self-inflicted varieties.

Example: Vow (Never Take a Life) and Pacifism (Reluctant Killer), both [-5]. The first is someone who may in the past have killed and knows he's capable of it, but just refuses to. The latter is someone who possibly never has killed anyone else and is psychologically unprepared for it should it inadvertantly happen.

More Extreme Example: Vow (Never Fight Even When Forced To) and Pacifism (Total Non-Violence), both [-30]. The first is a choice to avoid fighting by all means possible. The latter is either a genetic predisposition or a deeply ingrained psychological condition preventing any kind of violent actions at all.

Clear as mud?

By this logic, Afflicting total non-violence (permanent, of course,) would make it so easy for The Calm to make everybody just stand by and watch as he robs Fort Knox.

140) I cannot play a Bard named Alice Cooper, who specializes in illusions and necromancy.

141) Especially not if his theme song is "I love the dead"

I understand your point, but non-violence does not require standing around with your thumbs up your butt. You can still defend yourself, and assertively, but not violently, try to stop criminals.
