The game rules for oaths involves hanging some heavy baggage off your character's High Concept aspect.

Wait, let me get this straight... your High Concept is also an Aspect?

So in addition to the Aspects you choose as part of your backstory and guest-staring stories, the main idea of your character also counts as an offical Aspect?

Like "Chosen Prodigy of the White Council" would BOTH be a catch-all concept and a Invoke/Compel/Tag Aspect, yes?

Bingo. A DF character is composed of 7 aspects: the ones you get from the backstory (5), your high concept (1), and your recurring trouble (1).

blackheart:
Huh, for whatever reason that never clicked for me until now.

Must.... need... more.... coffee.....

Cool. Thanks Fred. (Of course, if I had thought about it, the Temptation of Power trouble for Harry makes perfect sense as an aspect.) I'm gonna have to do some heavy thinking about some of my character ideas now.

Can I invoke my recurring trouble to get re-rolls or a +2 bonus? Or can it be only tagged and compelled?
