That would be a vow or a component of a Code.

Re: A Thought About Pacifism
Yes... and what would that component cost? Since the only difference between this version and the base version is the baked in emotional baggage... which then also conveniently gives a decent measure of "how much would it cost to add an emotional baggage component to other Disads".
One of the things that annoys the crap out of me about some disads are the way multiple facets get baked together with no real easy way to unbake them. |

Re: A Thought About Pacifism
I was fairly sure 'Cannot harm innocents' meant you couldn't willfully kill them, period. Not 'except in the in the name of the greater good'
If the Death Star has innocent civilian hostages or such on it, then no blowing up the Death Star even to solve Alderaan The 'emotional baggage' is if you accidentally kill the innocents 'oh, when you blew up the Death Star, which you thought was only full of Imperials, it turns out there was also an Alderaanian Princess and a farm boy from Tatooine on board, which you later learned about' |
