Chastity can be a hard vow to keep in real life, but easy as heck for your PC so no real downside.Mercy is fine, but disappoint to read you are keeping one of my least favorite rules in 5e, the ability to decide after you strike someone that you are not going to kill them. Again no real downside in 95% of combats. Maybe that is the point  to have easy vows?Speaking of non lethal I have a simple house rules for this, that starts with declaring before you strike and applying penalties to hit and damage based on the weapon. Trying to knock someone out of the fight is a lot easier with a club or your firsts than it is with short sword or a pike.</blockquote>
