[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1676567, member: 14403"] I voted for the "DM-Hate" choice. I think playing a character with a Vow of Poverty is fine and dandy but how quick would people be to choose that Vow if there weren't all the nifty advantages that it gives? I refuse to believe that most people would take it for "Role Playing Opportunities" if it didn't give all the neat abilities. I see it as more of a munchkin ability than anything else. What Monk wouldn't take it? Most magical items are redundant to a Monk anyway so boosting his/her abilities is the thing that makes most sense. Add to that the fact that the abilites can't be taken away like magic items can. Personally I'd love to have a player who showed up to the game after taking the Vow of Poverty only to find that I won't allow the abilities that go along with it and NOT change their mind but instead play their character as planned for the role-playing opportunity.
