If you were going to give free feats (or spells, abilities, etc) for gaining corruption...how many would you let a character have before they succumbed to madness and became (a formless chaos gibbering mouther/fiend/crazed npc/etc) ???

Depends on how long you want the campaign to go on. Also, whether the players know the limit or not.

I immediatelly had flashback to 3.5 taint. You do not want anyone to see your taint, as you never know how people may react to being shown your taint, so you may waynt to conceal your taint....

Yeah, we had that issue with Rokugan and Oriental Adventures and the shadow taint.

On a thoughtful note, right now I'm looking at 4-6 feats, ending with an epic boon. (just before they go mad).
