Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Vow
In previous disadvantages of the week, we've discussed how about half of all pacifism can be framed as a vow. You can put other requirements on combat through vow as well.
We also got into the honesty disadvantage, and several posters suggested that it might be best to use vow, with the exact behavior specified A stack of Quirk-Level vows can often be better represented as a code of honor or disciplines of faith.

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Vow
Truthfulness and Vow of Truth are similar, but Truthfulness includes people who have no problem with lying, they're just very bad at it.

...though that depends on the size of the community. If you're in a small town where the Halloween murders constitute a large fraction of the homicides, it'll stand out strongly after a few years and probably be common speculation after just two or three. In a big city, much less so. NYC averaged more than one murder per day each year from 1959 through 2012.

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Vow
I remember a talk by I think a senior detective for New Orleans that they only have a handful of surprising murders a year. House that has had multiple domestic violence calls, taxi driver/convenience store clerk on the night shift, drug dealer, someone in the club/bar/etc. field. Lots. Out of the blue where you never would have expected it, a handful.
