I have a little thing I like to do to players that cross the line.
"You notice a slight lightening of the area. Looking around you become aware of a small spot of light on the ground at your feet. Slowly it grows larger and the surrounding area begins to lighten up. Soon it is growing larger and envelopes you in it's light. You see a being, a divine being, in the light materialize in front of you. This being floats above the ground and an aura of peace, tranquility and love permeate your being. This being leans forward a bit and swings his arm. The light departs with a suddeness that startles all who witnessed it. You feel a slight burning on your cheek. Pulling out your mirror you gaze into it and see a red hand mark on your face where you were slapped by your God for your insolence."
I usually reduce CHA by 1 and HP by 5 until the character can get to a high priest of their faith and get it removed. I have used this only 4 times in the 15 years I gamed. Most of my players still remember the occasions too.
