You give a car to someone and they then sleep with your wife and you can't take the car back because it's now their car.This is how religion works in the real world in some very big cases. <a href="https://www.thinkpriest.org/You-Are-a-Priest-Forever" target="_blank">If someone is ordained a priest of the Catholic church then it is literally impossible to take back or remove the sacrament as it creates "an indelible mark" on the soul</a>. (You can kick someone out of the Church or take them away from priestly authority but the metaphysical part is permanent).Why do you want to basically eliminate the possibility of good stories (like a corrupt priest) and make D&D religion even less like real world religion? What does cutting off avenues for storytelling and straightjacketing roleplaying do to improve the game? I have listed and gone into detail a number of ways it harms the game.Because the power of the Oath actually comes from within. But they are consequences. You just don't like them.</blockquote>
