[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 2716088, member: 111"] Correct. That's the way it is written. Exalted characters live to different standards than the rest of the world. The [b][i]concept[/i][/b] of VoP is great, but the implementation is rather... harsh. The biggest problem I see is the failure to include a mechanic for allowing for some sort of oath violation and atonement. Again, I think the solution is to pull it out of the Exalted book and make it an ordinary feat chain with some mechanic that allows for penalties for violations of teh oath wihtou losing all benefits permanently. This is where I think negative levels could be used very effectively. There is some precedent for this type of use of negative levels, after all, of not an exact parallel. Anyway, maybe something with negative levels and maybe even atonement on top of that - something along those lines, anyway. No matter how it is handled, it is very clear that, as written, no owning or use of equipment is allowed except as specifically laid out in the feat. [/QUOTE]
