However, players and GMs are on more equal footing in FATE, and new meanings for Aspects are often (typically) discovered mid-play. Again, the overt-ness helps to mitigate conceptual discrepancies.Ergo, I think it could be helpful to be explicit about when an Virtue or Vice is being "invoked" or "compelled." E.g., if I specifically make my PC's life harder by choosing to act in accordance with either, I should be able to flag that I am doing so and have the GM stop and make the call whether it's Conviction-worthy. Likewise, allow the GM to offer up a Conviction point if they want to use a Virtue/Vice to my PC's detriment.</blockquote>
