12-12-05, 04:43 PM I'm a big fan of the Flaws in UA... I was wondering if anyone had any more flaws that they would like to add? Here are the ones I've made, so far.

Poor Communicator: -2 to Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Info, and Intimidate

Magical Null: May never take any levels in a class with arcane spell progression. *note: this was based in Faerun, where the Weave is the source of arcane magic... divine is still god-given*

Magically Inept: May not use any spell-trigger or spell-completion magical items. Only 'innate' magical items that do not require any activation can be used.

You are ugly.
Effect
-4 to all Charisma based checks.

Your Mama Dresses You Funny
Effect
You suffer a -2 Armor Check Penalty.

Gamer Stench
You smell like a gamer.
Effect
Even creatures without the Scent ability can detect you as if they did.

12-12-05, 09:24 PM Incontinent: Your armor is rusty and smells bad. -2 to any and all social checks, hide checks, move silently checks, etc.

That's not what I meant: Any comment you make, no matter how innocent will offend someone, usually the biggest, meanest SOB in the room. In dealing with women, men get this flaw for free whether they want it or not.

Tasty: You are tasty. You are the filet migon of adventurers. Creatures will eat you first, savoring every succulent morsel of you. Dragons will shuck you out of your armor like an oyster and slurp you down.

You are very uncomfortable in romantic situations.
Effect: Any time you see, hear, or experience something that is sexual in nature, such as seeing people naked or having a barmaid make a pass at you, you become shaken. This effect ends when its cause does (i.e. when the naked people cover up, you stop being shaken).

Obnoxious
Your personality just rubs people the wrong way.
Effect: NPCs' attitudes towards you are one step worse than they would otherwise be. For example, NPCs that are friendly to your allies would merely be indifferent to you. Futher, you suffer a -2 penalty to Diplomacy checks.

12-13-05, 01:45 PM Alergy (mild):
You are allergic to a common everyday substance, like dust or pollen. When you are exposed to the substance you suffer from streaming and ichy eyes and nose. This imposes a -2 penatly on all chairsma based skills, search, spot, listen and concentration.

Alergy (lethal):
You are allergic to a reasonbly common food substance, like tommatoes or peanuts (examples based on real world availability). When you injest this substance it is created like a consumed poison exept you automaticly fail the fortitude saves (it is your own body doing it!) with a primary and secondary damadge of 3d6 con. Less imtimate contact might cause lesser reactions.

Sickly:
You have a very weak immune sytem. -6 on all saves vs disease.

12-13-05, 01:50 PM teribel speler: You spell almost as well as a lobotimzed ettin and your hand writing is nearly as good as a chaos beasts. Anytime you try to memorize a spell from your spell book, there is an increased chance of spell failure due you being unable to read your own handwriting.

Will you be my freind?: Obnoxious people love you. They long to be near you. They will do things for you. Like watch you sleep. Or pre-chew your food for you. Or just talk to you, for hours and hours. Your every word is their reason for living. They absolutely will not leave you alone, not for any reason at all. If your personal shadow dies, another one takes his place that is even more obnoxious. None of them have any usefull qualities and they all smell bad.

Gilligan: You break things. If its breakable, you will break it. Unless you want to break it, then its unbreakable. Your reputation for breaking things is well know, but for some reason people keep handing valuble items to you. Which you promptly drop. Anything you drop will break, even if it were to land on an Angels wing.

Gilligan 2: You screw up the plan. Even if you're not involved. Even if you are told to stand there and don't move. Your presence in the vicinity of any plan will automatically cause said plan to fail.
