Editing SeventhSunTemp:Flaws

== Flaws ==

A Flaw pays for one additional starting Talent. Choose no more than one. Like a Talent, a Flaw should be short enough to remember and definite enough to matter without debate. The player chooses the Flaw; the Narrator confirms that it will recur often enough to be meaningful without dominating the hero.

=== Flaw Standard ===

A Flaw has one clear effect, usually a penalty die in a recurring situation.

A Flaw is personal. Lineages and Paths never impose mandatory Flaws.

A Flaw cannot be bought off by choosing equipment or behavior that makes it irrelevant.

A Flaw should complicate play, not prevent the hero from participating in it.

Biography alone is not a Flaw unless it carries a dependable rule.
