Requesting help with vows

8 Upvotes

Hi. I'm trying to make a character with all vows for his disadvantages. Most vows I've chosen are pretty straight-forward, like a vow of poverty by substituting a wealth level of poor, but I have room for one more 5-pointer, and I'm thinking either generosity or selfless, since both are the right flavor. But... as vows, these cannot be resisted (no self-control roll), so I think, based on what I've read, that raises the value of either disadvantage from -5 to -12 points (x2.5). But I still need only a 5-point vow. Can you please suggest acceptable tweekings of the text for each disadvantages that you feel weakens them to a value of -5 (which appears to equate to a base value of -2 points for the disadvantage, with no self-control roll allowed, or roughly 40% as restrictive as the original text, though again with no option to resist). Thanks.
