comment As a GM, when to force a harrowed player for control of his body?
In original Deadlands, we always play it that a Harrowed would lose control at the worst possible moment screwing the PCs as much as possible. Not sure if Reloaded is any gentler than the original though.

Ravn, I don't disagree but just because the character doesn't get cast doesn't mean that character can't get used in another game.

comment “Punishing” characters for stupid actions
Your world should react realistically. Do you really want to compromise that to cater to a player who is probably just testing your boundaries?
