I don't think active lesbians are usually considered "chaste." By the traditional definition they could be if they were married to each other, except that the traditional definition probably doesn't include same-sex marriage.

Think of it as a stand-in for any -10 point Vow; "Chastity" was the only thing I could come up with in the three hours I spent putting the sheet together.

No, but then I was paraphrasing the breakdown in Powers when describing the power modifier. (I'm curious, have you read it, particularly the chapter on how to put together a Power?)

Now, I also use a Demonic power modifier of the same value which doesn't have the latter two clauses. Then again, demons that grant powers aren't exactly known for being nice guys when a follower they've granted power to defies them.... o/` :)

They were a little busy back then. Uncle Joe was far more obviously an enemy of the American way of life and they didn't mind hanging out with him.
