Gabriels dissonance Condition.

[Acolyte]

In a mixed-Word game (ie, nearly all games of IN), though, the (divine) Fire dissonance restriction can be problematic to the game, and it's not always possible to handle background Fire punishing in a side/solo session or with emails between sessions.

For a game I ran, I worked out a system with the Fire angel (a Malakite who had switched from Destiny because he wanted to do more direct action) for when we started a session a few days after the last one ended. We rolled a die and consulted the following table (he had 4 Celestial Forces):
1 It's been CelForces days since you last punished someone. Get on it!
2 It's been CelForces-1 days since you last punished someone. You're on the prowl.
3 It's been CelForces-2 days since you last punished someone. Low pressure.
4 It's been CelForces-3 days since you last punished someone. Good luck.
5 You are mid-punishment (either the punishment is in progress, or you have a plan in place that will finish in the next 24 hours).
6 You have just punished someone. The next cruel person you meet will draw your gaze.

That way, "look, a mean person" only risks derailing the team nature of a session 1/6th of the time, but it's not as if the PC gets off without having a dissonance condition (the roll of 5 tended to be more disruptive, actually, but also very fun, for example a session starting with the PCs in the car of the human Servant of a Destiny PC, the opening line being the Servant's: "So, why do we have a schoolteacher gagged in the trunk, again?"). The player and I worked together on details, and it was fun to include references to the PC's actions in general group rumors (GM: "Everyone in the bar is talking about how someone beat up all the pimps on 6th and that the working girls have lowered their prices in thank you to the anonymous stranger." Non-Fire PC: "Dude, was that you again?" Fire PC: "Maaaaaaybe.").
