As I mentioned, I recognize it's a potential problem with some groups. Fortunately it stopped been one for me some time ago.

The question then became how to renew it. Since it's a roleplaying game, they made the choice of basing it on character roleplaying. What other simple way would you use for Conviction renewal?I think this is were we have a disconnect. I tend to play with people I trust. If the GM is trying to change how you think you're character "is", perhaps it's time to sit down and discuss it? If he becomes an ass about it, perhaps you shouldn't bother playing with him? Trying to come up with a system that's foolproof against metagaming and bad DMing seems like a a Herculean task to me.</blockquote>
