FLAWS

Delicate Stomach: If food doesn't smell right, she can’t eat it; if food doesn't look right, she can’t eat it; or if ingredients are suspect, she can’t eat it. Furthermore, when faced with too much gore, too soon after a meal, a Constitution check is required. On a failed check, she spends 1d4 rounds sickened and temporarily loses 1 point of Charisma until the gore is removed or she removes herself from the area for at least 3+1d6 minutes. (Minor, 5 points) Suggested by Fair Dinkum Sheila.

One of the Guys: This female never had that special romantic spark with men. Maybe it's because she can iron a shirt while wearing it, maybe it's because her male relatives treated her like a boy, or maybe it's because she never liked frilly feminine activities. Regardless, when it comes to charm, seduction or romance, she fails miserably because men can't ever seem to think of her "in that way." She suffers a –45% to seduce males. (Minor, 3 points) Suggested by Katie White-Sonby.

Top-heavy: This character suffers from chronic back pain. Why? Because her breasts, be they natural or magically enhanced, are TOO BIG for her body. It also causes discomfort when running unless she has excellent support. On the other hand, she is in little danger of drowning. This equates to an increase to her encumbrance modifier by 0.25 when determining fatigue, and +15% to her swim skill due to increased buoyancy. Heaven help her if she needs to dive (-15% to swim checks)! This character also pays 10% extra for any clothing that covers her chest, as regular stock does not fit. She must add 5% to the chance of spell mishap when casting a spell with somatic components, and suffers a -1 to-hit while using a long bow or short bow. (Major, 11 points) Suggested by Katie White-Sonby.

QUIRKS, MENTAL

Appearance Obsessive: This character spends 1d3 hours adjusting her makeup, hair, perfume, etc., before leaving the house (inn, tavern, etc.). She cannot go anywhere until her appearance is perfect in her eyes, and physically fights anyone trying to get her to leave earlier. NPCs selling items that may or may not increase a person’s Comeliness can expect to make money from this character. This quirk may cause problems in a dungeon situation. (Minor, 5 points) Suggested by Whitney Jo Currie.

Bug Dance: When confronted with a bug that appears on her person, or if she walks into a spider web, or so on, this character begins to “dance” in an uncontrollable way and shout something similar to “GET IT OFF!! GET IT OFF!”
As a result, she suffers a loss of 1 point of temporal Honor each time this occurs. She must succeed at a maintain self-discipline skill check if she wants to remain quiet and still. (Minor, 4 points) Suggested by Fair Dinkum Sheila.

Can't Cook: Regardless of how many times her mother showed her, this character never really grasped the concept of cooking. She seems to burn every meal, from eggs to soup, and has even been known to destroy a cup of tea. The best she can manage (50% of the time) is to boil water. If her life depended on it, she would most likely starve. She cannot purchase the culinary arts or cooking skills, and survival skills (or any other skills related to food preparation) cost twice as much. (Minor, 5 points). Suggested by Red.
