Current Lawbreaker rules are very punitive. If you don't build your character with Lawbreaking in mind, it can be similar to instant death for one offence, with no defense possible.

If I wanted to run a story about the slow descent into black magic, I might change that. But I kinda like the way that this system makes people afraid to break the Laws.

Though I do wish that Lawbreaker was more equivalent to Refinement. Houseruling it to boost power and complexity fixes that, but then you run into the problem admiralducksauce mentioned.
