Killing
Because we want to tame the use of violence killing a human will result in either instant area restart or a mark on your moral compass if you get to may marks you lose the info/map system of the game (think GTA no map no quest log,no cross hair to aim,the auto aim gets a -50% to aim,ect,ect,ect) you become "lost" from here you either restart from last save or find your way to a church and gain a pilgrim quest your "on your own" until you find your way threw and complete your pilgrimage.

Non lethal Weapons
Quick take downs and surprise is the key here there are 3 levels of take downs lite knock out/ heavy knock out and brutal knock out .

Defense
"My faith is what carries me"
can be used here the choices you make effect how you gain HP and defiance if you make allot of easy choices you don't grow in these areas if you are a heavy handed fighter and do allot of brutal take downs it will be held agisnt you and you wont grow as well or as fast.
