Depends largely upon the diety.  Mordtch will take all your damage
and dodge points.  I have had a character break with Safandi and had no
ill effects (slightly cursed which doesnt affect you).

I have also had a character break with Kellen without ill effects.
However, I have heard rumors that your character's power level may effect
the penalties with lower power people getting more penalties.  My guys
were both very high in power when they broke.  In general, the alignment of
the diety will give you an idea as to how harsh they are with breaks.
Evil will slam you, neutral and good tend to be nice about it.

There are a couple more Canadian players that I know of.  If you would
like to drop them a line, there addresses are:

s.schmidt8@genie.geis.com    His name is Steve.
d.peattie1@genie.geis.com    His name is Doug.

I'm sure they would love to hear from you.
