You could always role-play your character connecting with Denver sprawl. Finding the city soul beating the same under a different skin after wandering the midnight hours and redlight districts. Perhaps using magic almost accidentally, instinctually in some appropriate situation, thus feeling the intimate connection that he only consciously doubted. After all, plus ca change...

Geez, you are some kind of glutton for punishment.

If your GM says it works in any city, fine, let it work in any city.

If you really want it to only work in one city but you don't want that to interfere with the campaign moving, fine, have your geas broken for the next run or two while you "re-attune yourself to a new city" and then have it work in Denver instead of Seattle.

Or get seven circa 2052 headware radios and be a burnout, I don't care.

since everything is soygene anyway I don't think the diet comes into play.
you would have to use the idiot's guide for the sabbath (no work at all!) instead of just a reminder its a holy day.

Actually the fact that most food is synthesized from Soy, Fungal, or Krill protien probably makes it not Kosher. Kosher is about preparation and sanitazation practices not just ingredients. At the very least it imposes a need for a high lifestyle just to have access to the proper food. Keeping the Sabbath does in fact mean that from Sundown on Friday until Sundown on Saturday activity would be severely limited or his ability to perform would be severely limited.

The character in development is an Adept whose background is in the LA entertainment industry, and until the flooding of LA was more or less just a B or C list Hollywood guy who happened to be from a Jewish family. When LA flooded, seeing as there was no real logical or scientific explanation for millions of cubic feet of water to suddenly flood uphill, the only possible explanation (at least in this characters mind) was God's displeasure with the multitude on non-practicing Jews in LA. So he went back to practicing, and was rather outspoken about it which subsequently got him booted from Hollywood society and employment. He's working Seattle as a perfromer with whatever gig his shady talent agent (also a low level fixer) can get him and street performing and being a bit of a con-man on the side (Can't totally erase that flexible Hollywood morality altogether).

Still a work in progress but I think it's got some potential

Too true; there are logistical reasons that Jews live in communities; living here in Rochester has been really difficult, because the Jewish community is so incredibly small compared to where I'm from. As a result, I have to cook nearly all of my own meals; as my parents commented, my apartment kitchen is better equipped than those belonging to many married-for-years couples.

Wait, gluton-intolerant? That's one letter away from a couple of meanings.
Did you mean he's allergic to a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and oats, in which case he would be gluten-intolerant?
Or did you mean he hates people who eat to much, in which case he'd be glutton-intolerant?
It's just one letter either way.

I'm thinking you meant the former, but I initially read it as the latter.
And I'm a smart-ass.

You can take Geasa at character creation for a few extra build points too, and if done properly it can add some good RP depth. Of course if done poorly it just adds to GM annoyance.

plus, if you run across any asses in any pits, you know your day off just ended early.

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk
In her case, both apply, I think. But yes, I suppose I did mean "gluten."

@Cthulhu dreams: I took the geas at character gen. And yes, I am thinking of my character as Batman-esque. But then again, whenever he goes to Star City, he's still more of a bad-ass than Green Arrow, so that line of thought can go either way. I'm thinking of role-playing him as a fish-out-of-water at first, though.

Also, as far as initiation goes, my group has a house-rule where magicians and adepts (we have a total of 4) that initiate can't repeat ordeals until they've done them all (if any of us manages to initiate that many times, I'll probably have screwed up by living past 30). We made that rule precisely because some of the ordeals seem a little harsher than others. Since the idea of a shaman "hanging himself from a tree for 9 days" or whatever the book uses as an example is such a cool idea, we figured there should be at least some reason to do that rather than, say, meditate for a week.

Oh yeah, but it should still 'logically' have the same impact as mediation even if you take it at character generation, because Geas (Chargen) = Geas (Initation) = Meditation.

Basically you get some BP and write some back story and thats good all round.

As for the different ordeals thing, yeah the ordeals are a bit all over the place in terms of 'impact' but a majority of them are impact free. Coincidentally, why wouldn't hanging yourself from a tree for 9 days be anything other than a flavorful meditation ordeal?

Pulling the ass out of the pit would probably be excessive. You could just as easily throw down a bucket of food and water and leave it there until tomorrow, unless the pit was about to flood or a hoard of army ants were about to descend upon it or something.

Because you have to take a test for it. It's WIL+BOD or something. If I'm not mistaken, you don't have a risk of failure with meditation. Either there's no test, or it's extended, so it just might take you a long time. With asceticism, I'm pretty sure you can fail.

Celiac Sprue if anyone actually cares.

Which, as far as I know, has no consequences. You could just do it again, hanging around for another nine days, and then another, until you get it right.
