Vow of Nonviolence states that you can not do lethal or ability damage to an opponent and can not preform any action that causes harm or suffering to a humanoid. What exactly does harm and suffering mean? Could a Wizard cast Stinking Cloud, or does Nauseated count as suffering because it is listed as "experiencing stomach distress"? Or is the feat just poorly worded, considering that non-lethal damage could easily cause harm and suffering but it allowed by this feat?
Vow of Peace has the same wording but as an additional point that has me scratching my head. It states that you can not use non-damaging magic to incapacitate an enemy so that your friends can kill them and if you incapacitate someone you need to take them prisoner. What exactly does this mean? Does dropping Glitterdust into the fray so that your allies can overcome the competition easier count as breaking the Vow if one of them dies? What is an incapacitate, and if you were to use one and your allies kill a someone without your 'consent' (IE, "Mike, you weren't supposed to Coup de Grace the guy I hit with Hold Person!")?
Any ideas on these two feats? Best of luck folks,
