[UA] Silly Epideromancy Rules question

[Timothy Groth]

I think a lot of these situations would not violate taboo but instead 
inflict madness checks.  Adepts have a different frame of mind for the 
madness tracks.  Being in a situation that would violate taboo if self 
initiated is probably very stressful for an adept.

This allows a nice merging into another topic brought up, the rating for 
accidently eating human flesh.  I'm not sure about the reason for its 
ranking but I'm sure that a lot of it would be that in the situation you 
would have enjoyed the meal.  If the meal was bad it would probably be less 
stressful than if it was the best meat you'd ever had.  In the first case 
you were forced to eat something vile and detected that.  In the second case 
you like the taste of human flesh, which is far harder for most people to 
work into their concept of self.
