This is a Method for using Powers in Action. Methods are a part of Traditions and define how Powers are used in each campaign.
Vow
You have taken an oath, and your power only works while you maintain this oath. Stricter vows are likely to interfere much more with your power, but also to grant many more opportunities to focus.
- Vow against killing
- Vow against violence
- Vow of abstinence (from drugs, eating meat, or similar)
- Vow of celibacy
- Vow of fasting
- Vow of Forthrightness (no sneaking, approach problems head on)
- Vow of poverty (entrust your upkeep to others, handle no valuables)
- Vow of silence
- Vow of truth (no lying or deliberate deception; silence is acceptable)
Limitation
You must not have broken your vow recently to practice power. Willfully breaking the vow negates your power for a week. Breaking it because of coercion or necessity (and this might be frequent in case of such things as fasting) means you cannot use your powers for an hour.
Focus Condition
Trigger Action (Focus)
When you would have gained some advantage by breaking your vow, and still persisted, you can focus. Even minor and role-playing advantages count, and you can focus at any time during scene in which this happened, but only once - once you have used up the accumulation of power thus gained, it is gone.
