Alex is probably right here, but Chris' idea is a very good one. I will try to work something like that into the next version of YAHQS (which will also include ritual rules and improved rune rules [gasp]). I'm not making any promises as to when this will see the light of day...

IMO such a mechanism is as unnecessary as one for free will. The hero "retires" to the otherworld (like Arkat) when he/she/ it gets too "bored" with the mundane world. Spend enough time dealing with myths and gods and you'll become too alien to fit in any more. Or something like that. It could be roleplayed, not mechanized.
