[QUOTE="Lela, post: 1393296, member: 1216"] It doesn't. This is just one option you can take that happens to be restricted to those kinds of characters. You have to live those standards to take gain these benifits. You don't have to have the benifits to live the standards. If you don't like it that way, make it a personal, binding, agreement between the character and a Celestial. How do the feats make one ideaology better or worse than another? D&D is filled with ideaologies granting power to their minions. Clerics, Blackguards, Druids, Paladins, even Wizards gain some form of power from their choice of idealogical focus. This is just one example of one power trying to give power over another. Not all Exalted characters are going to take every feat either. For example, no Exalted Paladin of Sune would take Vow of Chastity. It's unlikely that an Exalted Cleric of Lethander would take Vow of Poverty. And certainly no Exalted Fighter of Tyr (or Heironeous) would take Vow of Peace or Non-Violence. It wouldn't surprise me to have the Druid of Non-Violence inadvertantly insult the Paladin of Heironeous over that very issue. I do tend to agree with you about the Vows. If you're slipped something, that's when you need your Vow of Abstinance. But it goes away. Problem. And all your enimies need to do to screw you over is lace an arrow or two with something and peg you with it. Hmmmm, I can see that. It really is an odd thing to say if they don't mean that. [/QUOTE]
