Combat Fault
Acts of violence deeply offend you, and you always seek a peaceful resolution to any conflict. For three points you are a Peacemaker: you may defend yourself or another who is threatened by immediate physical harm, but you fight only to incapacitate, NEVER to kill. At the commencement of any combat situation, you must make a Psyche roll at a -4 penalty to aggressively engage; otherwise, you spend the first two rounds of combat attempting to persuade your attacker(s) to avoid bloodshed. During those two rounds, you may only perform defensive maneuvers.
If you choose the more restrictive form of this Fault (6 points), you are a true Pacifist, who has sworn a vow NEVER to harm another living being, and you must spend a Fate point to raise your hand even to defend yourself!
