Once again, I'll refer people to a more well made RPG, L5R 4e. In that disadvantages are mostly all mechanical, or at least provide some real penalties. Taking the Can't Lie disadvantage can cause real problems. Their not all perfect, but taking max points worth of disadvantages isn't an automatic in that system.
