Humakt’s Geases

The geases taken by a Humakti often have little direct effect on daily life, but the burden of some geases can be considerable. If the geas contradicts the gift desired or a previous gift taken, then the worshipper may choose a new gift, but must take the geas. If the same geas is rolled twice, roll again.
