That's a Vow. I suppose that actual inability to consume 'wrong' food is more serious than not wanting to.

I wouldn't go as far as a Talent. But right now, I feel that extra arms are not the best deal unless they're bought as 1/5th alternatives.

Hmm.

time, however.

I wonder what counts as needing attentions in more than one place at a time. I guess if mousing and keyboarding at the same time doesn't count, then shooting the same enemy you're trying to outmanoeuvre shouldn't count either. What's you opinion?
