I agree that the "Rules of Engagement" pacifism variant is handled just as well by CoH: Soldier if you must scrupulously follow rules of engagement dictated by military superiors. It could also just be part of a Duty to a particular organization. Likewise, Killing Ritual might just be part of Code of Honor (Aztec Warrior or Cinematic Villain) or just a Vow. |

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Pacifism
I think the difference in that last case is that Pacifism or CoH is something you believe in, so you will make efforts not to do the thing or to be involved, and may feel you have to stop your companions doing it too; while with Duty you might just make an effort to cover it up.

Duty can easily require someone to behave in a fashion at odds with internally-driven motivations like Code of Honor, Pacifism, Sense of Duty, or Vow. Based on that idea, Pacifism (Rules of Engagement) - where YOU feel bound to behave in certain ways when dishing out violence - is distinct from Duty. That makes it a potentially useful new Pacifism variant. (Killing Ritual is better handled as CoH, Trademark, or Vow.) A Pacifism (Rules of Engagement) disad should fall into the cost range of similar existing versions of Pacifism like Cannot Harm Innocents (-5) or Cannot Kill (-15). Assume a maximum cost of -15 points and put the equivalent of Accessibility Modifiers on it reduce the cost as appropriate. For example, "Cannot Harm [Broad Class of People]" might be worth -5 to -10 points. |

To a lesser extent, it is the same as a reputation with "everyone who I will not meet in the adventure". That might include almost everyone in the world, but it still shouldn't be worth much. |
