Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Vow
It might be the moral option to the killer. Vows can very much be the backbones of your morals and how you view the world. But yes, I do think it is unrelated to how hard the Vow is.

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Vow
There would likely be a Secret, but I believe that it is still a Major Vow. The idea that anything that compels you to commit murder annually is worth only -1 CP is just bizarre, especially since that is the same value as Dislikes romance novels.

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Vow
This seems like "murder-hobo morality." For any sane person, murder is hard.

And I think having to commit said murder on 1 specific day out of 365 (and a bit) makes it worth more; about [-5]. Remember, that is more, and very specific, information that the police/city guard/station security AI/local superheroes/etc can use to not only track down, intercept, and locate the perpetrator; but to identify that there is a serial killer in the first place. |

First of all, nobody claimed the person who has a Vow to murder an innocent person every Halloween is sane. And if we were to suppose that they are, would the 'hard' nature of murder create any Disadvantage? "My character has Dramatic Feelings" isn't a Disadvantage. It becomes one when it is upgraded to "My character has Dramatic Feelings and therefore behaves in inconvenient ways." What inconvenient behavior follows here? If you're playing with Stress and Derangement or something like that, a Disadvantage that will force you to act in a way that causes derangement might be worth more than normally...

It does? I think I missed that, what evidence?

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Vow
The Vow is somewhat similar to Trademark
