Flaws

• Absent-minded (3 pt. Flaw) You forget names, addresses, where you left your keys, etc. In order to remember anything more than your name and the location of your haven, you must spend a Willpower trait.
  
  
• Amnesia (2 pt. Flaw) Your past is a blank slate. The only things that you know about yourself are those that are obvious, or that you can see in a mirror. Your origins and the circumstances behind your amnesia are for the Storyteller to determine, not for you to pre-assign.
  
  
• Illiterate (1 pt. Flaw) You cannot read or write in any language.
  
  
• Weak-willed (3 pt. Flaw) Your difficulty is raised by two when resisting all Dominate and intimidation challenges. Your Willpower trait may never rise above 4. Further, you may only spend Willpower when your survival is at stake or it is in your nature.

• Nightmares (1pt. Flaw) You experience horrendous nightmares every time you sleep, and memories of them haunt you during the waking hours. Upon awakening, you must make a willpower roll, difficulty 7, or lose a die on all actions for that night. A botched Willpower roll indicates that, even when awake, you still believe that you are locked in a nightmare.
  
  
• Phobia (2pt Flaw)You have an overpowering fear of something. Spiders, snakes, croweds and heights are examples of common phobias. You must make a courage roll every time you encounter the object of your fear. The difficulty of the roll is determined by the Storyteller, and if you fail the roll you must retreat from the object.
  
  
• Prey Exclusion (1pt Flaw) You refuse to hunt a certain class of prey. You might refuse to feed upon drug dealers, or policemen, or accountants, or rich people - if you accidently feed upon such an individual, you automatically frenzy and must make a roll to prevent Humanity loss, difficulty 7. Witnessing other kindred feeding on the object of your exclusion might also provoke a frenzy, at the Storyteller's discretion. Ventrue, owing to the limitations imposed on their feeding by their clan weakness, may not take this flaw.
  
  
• Shy (1pt Flaw) you are distinctly ill at ease when dealing with people and try to avoid social situations whenever possible. Difficulties for all rolls involving social interaction with strangers are increased by two. If the character becomes the center of attention in a large group, difficulties are increased by 3.
  
  
• Soft Hearted (1pt Flaw) You cannot stand to watch others suffer. You avoid any situation that involves causing someone physical or emotional pain, unless you make a Willpower roll, diff 8. You must have a Humanity rating of 7 or above to take this flaw.
  
  
• Speech Impedement (1pt Flaw) You have a a stammer or other speech impedement that hampers verbal communication. The difficulties of all die rolls involving verbal communication are increased by 2. You must roleplay this flaw whenever necessary.

• Territorial (2pt Flaw) You are extremely territorial and when any other vampire enters your area you must make a roll for frenzy. If you fail you immediately attack the interloper and continue until the interloper is either dead or has left your hunting grounds.
  
  
• Vengence (2 pt. Flaw) You have a score to settle, and focus on it intently. You have to spend Willpower to put your vengeance on the back burner, and even then you always come back to it. They wronged you, and they must pay.
  
  
• Lunacy (2pt Flaw) You are effected by the phases of the moon, increasing your chances to frenzy. Under the cresent moon, difficulties to avoid increase by one. Under the half of gibbious moon, difficultie increases by two. Under the full moon difficultie increases by three.
  
  
• Conspicuous Consumption (4pt Flaw) It is not enough to just take the blood of mortals. You must consume the heart, liver, and other blood-rich tissues. This flaw leads to numerous Masquerade breaches and maintaining the characters Humanity. You must also purchase the Eat Food Merit with this flaw.

~~~~~PHYSICAL~~~~~

Merits

• Acute Sense (1 pt. Merit) Your sense of sight, hearing, touch, taste, or smell (choose one) is exceptionally acute, This lowers the difficulty by two for all challenges directly relating to the acuity of your sense. If you wish to have more, the point cost of the Merit goes up per heightened sense.
  
  
• Ambidextrous (1 pt. Merit) You may use both hands equally well. This does not give you extra actions. You must still use the rules for taking multiple actions, but will not suffer a difficulty penalty if say you use two weapons or are forced to use your off hand.
  
  
• Blush of Health (2 pt. Merit) You appear to still be alive due to some quirk of your vampiric metabolism. Your skin feels only slightly cool to the touch, and you retain normal human coloration making you blend into the kine with no trouble.

• Daredevil (3 pt. Merit) You are good at taking risks, and even better at surviving them.

• Eat Food (1 pt. Merit) While you cannot digest food, you may still consume it without expending Willpower to force it down your throat. In fact, you may still enjoy the taste of foods.

• Hard of Hearing (1 pt. Flaw) Your hearing is poor, and your difficulty is raised by two on any hearing challenge.
  
  
• Lame (3 pt. Flaw) Your legs are damaged, which prevent you from running or walking easily. You are forced to walk with a cane, or possibly leg braces, and have a pronounced limp to your stride. Your walking speed is one quarter that of a normal human, and running is impossible.
  
  
• Monstrous (3 pt. Flaw) Your physical form was twisted during the embrace, and now reflects the beast that rages inside you. Characters with this flaw, appear to be savage monsters, and have appearance ratings of 0. Even Nosferatu have difficulty interacting with such individuals.
