Character merits & flaws

Merits & Flaws add depth and detail to a character.

Flaws

Flaws are negative character elements that can affect the game. Flaws give freebie points back to you. For example: you could buy the -3 flaw "One Arm" - which means that your character literally has only one arm. The effect of "One Arm" is that your character simply can't do some of the things a normal two-armed person could, or at least couldn't do them as quickly. However, you now have three more freebie points to spend during character creation.

At some point I will include a brief description for each of these, but not today.

Merits

Merits are positive character elements that can affect the game, merits cost freebie points. For example: you could buy the +3pt merit "Luck" - which makes you character luckier than normal. The effect of "Luck" is that sometimes you can reroll a botch - very handy. However, it just cost you three freebie points during character creation.

At some point I will include a brief description for each of these, but not today.
