Amend the rule “Integrity” so that it reads:
Integrity is the measure of how Monkly a Monk’s character is.
New Monks start with an Integrity of 10.
Whenever a Monk undergoes a Vow, e gains 2 Integrity every 24 hours if it is voluntary, or 1 Integrity every 24 hours if it isn’t, until either e breaks the Vow, or the Vow is removed.
Whenever a Monk breaks a Vow, e loses 5 Integrity.
, but it could just as easily be noon on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. -Psalm 61:8
“No Monk should, for example, be allowed to take a Vow mere seconds before noon on Sunday, and claim the 2 Integrity.”
A fine point. Naturally none of our players would do something like this without some excellent scheme in mind.
Genesis 43:25:
And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there
And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
-Leviticus 22:21

Hix:
“per day” in the current Rule is a little unclear as to whether “day” is being used as a duration, or the period of time that lies between two consecutive midnights. In the Glossary’s definition of “often”, “per day” means the latter, but I think the Integrity increase is meant to be (roughly) porportional to the duration of the Vow. No Monk should, for example, be allowed to take a Vow mere seconds before noon on Sunday, and claim the 2 Integrity.
