As Fate's Harvest is not using the full Conditions system created for GMC, flaws, rather than persistent conditions, are the mechanical means of declaring negative aspects of your character which hinder him in some way.
Certain flaws may only be taken by Changeling characters. These are separately listed below.
Each flaw includes a brief summary of its effects as well as the book and page number of its source. A value of -1 is represented as -•, while -2 is -••, -3 is -•••. Means to resolve each flaw are included in italics below the description text.
Should you find any of the persistent conditions from GMC particularly delectable and wish to suffer it, please send up a +req/pitch to staff to suggest adding it to the list of available flaws.
Mechanically, these are set on your +sheet as 'FLAW - DERANGEMENT (type of derangement)'. When requesting a derangement or setting one during CG, please remember to include the type.
Certain derangements are pre-written to work together, with mild/severe/extreme variations.
See the table below for a list of these. Their corresponding severities are also written in the base description entries beneath the table. If a derangement does not have a more severe version, it is not included in the table.
- See Inferiority Complex. Rather than a -1 on failure, you suffer -2 to all rolls for the remainder of the scene, and may not spend Willpower on any rolls, period, until the anxiety has passed (i.e. the scene is over).
- Escalation of: Inferiority Complex
- Aphasia -••/-••• (The Blood p.108 + HR)
- This flaw, while designed for Vampires, is still applicable to the psychology of the living. Something has so shattered the character's thoughts that they never fully return to rationality, trapped in psychosis. They can neither speak nor interpret the spoken word, though sign language/writing/telepathy is still possible. Their attempts at speaking are meaningless babbling, smacks, clicks, and similar. Those affected may roll Wits + Empathy to get the basic emotional gist of a conversation, but only if the speaker is within eyesight.
- Roll Resolve + Composure to master your nerves and face situations your character would prefer to avoid (things associated with previous significant failures). On failure, your character may flee, or disguise himself as an innocent bystander to avoid notice. If you must confront the source/can't escape, all rolls suffer a -1 penalty due to anxiety.
- Escalates into: Fugue
- Blood Fascination -• (Vampire: the Requiem - Ghouls p.87)
- Roll Resolve + Composure any time your character encounters blood. On a failure, take a 'souvenir' (whether to keep or to taste). If Composure-number of days have gone by without encountering any blood, or images thereof, roll another Resolve + Composure to avoid going out to search for more.
- Bulimia -•• (Vampire: the Requiem p.188)
- Your character tries to drown stress with things he likes, especially food. Binge and purge cycle of gluttony and subsequent self-disgust-induced vomiting.
- Escalation of: Fixation
- Compulsive-Aggressive Disorder -••
- Delusional Witness -••
- Denial -••
- Dependent-Personality Disorder -••
- Depersonalization -•
- Depravity -••
- Depression -• (WoD p.97)
- Roll reflexive Resolve + Composure after failing to achieve some IC goal or rolling any Dramatic Failures. If you fail your Res+Comp, you sink into depression for the remainder of the scene, lose a point of Willpower and may not spend any further Willpower points until the scene is over.
- Escalates into: Manic-Depression, Melancholia
- Diogenes Syndrome -••
- Dissociation -••
- Divination Obsession -••
- Fetishism -•
- Filthy Brutes -•
- Fixation -• (WoD p.97)
- Roll Resolve + Composure after failing OR succeeding at an important action (leaping between buildings, making a quick escape, etc.). If you fail, you obsess over the offending/inspiring task. Roll a single die. That is the number of scenes you are fixated on what you believe helped/hurt you win/lose the event.
- Escalates into: Bulimia, Obsessive Compulsion
- Fugue -••/-••• (WoD p.100)
- Your character has a specific trigger. When subjected to that particular stress (manslaughter, seeing a black dog on a full moon, etc.), you must succeed at a Resolve + Composure roll or he slips into a fugue for the remainder of the scene. Essentially, he blanks out and works on autopilot, and has no memory of what he has done when he "wakes up" at the end of the scene. If people try to stop this autopilot destressing, your character may attack them in order to carry on.
- Escalation of: Avoidance
- Glossolalia -•
- Goetic Fracture -••/-•••
- Grandiose Delusions -•
- Hallucination -•
- Hedge Calling -••
- Hemophilic Compulsion -••
- Hunter King -••
- Hypnagogic Hallucination -•
|
- As with Phobia, but a failed Res+Comp means your character can't even be in the same room with the object of her fear. She must run away immediately to get out of sensory range at full running Speed as soon as she can take an action. She cannot attack it under any circumstance. If it touches her, roll another Resolve + Composure. On success, leave the room at a run. On failure, your character runs as fast and far as she can, thinking of nothing else until she is past sensory range.
- If the object appears suddenly/you aren't aware of it your initial Resolve + Composure roll suffers a -3 penalty. If it touches you but you can't see it (i.e. a spider dropping from the ceiling onto the back of your neck) the penalty is -5.
- Escalation of: Phobia
- Inferiority Complex -• (WoD p.98)
- Roll Resolve + Composure to remain composed rather than freaking out at the possibility that you might fail at something when you are a single choice/dice roll away from winning/losing something stressful. If you fail the roll, all rolls (including the momentous act itself) suffer a -1 penalty for the remainder of the scene, and you may not spend Willpower on the 'momentous act' roll.
- Escalates into: Anxiety
- Insomnia -•
- Irrational Defiance -••
- Irrationality -• (WoD p.99)
- Roll Resolve + Composure to keep your cool when threatened/under extreme tension/persecuted/challenged/accused. Said tension must bear some realistic threat to some aspect of your character's well-being, be it monetary, emotional, social, societal, etc. Upon a failed roll, your reaction is completely over the top insane, exaggerated, and you are likely to take risks far worse than what precipitated the event. See book for details.
- Escalates into: Multiple Personality Disorder
- Loss of Compassion -••
- Magical Ideation -•
- Manic-Depression -••
- Masochism -••
- Megalomania -•• (WoD p.97)
- See Narcissism. Same effects, except the penalties intensify by one. In addition, your character is also highly competitive and obsessive, and cannot allow himself to fail a contest. He just won't let it go, demands it be tried again, etc., no matter where the group is. If he ever loses to someone he considers a social inferior, he loses a point of Willpower due to shame/self loathing.
- Escalation of: Narcissism
- Melancholia -•• (WoD p.97)
- In addition to the effects of Depression on a failed Resolve + Composure roll, all dice pools suffer a -2 penalty for the remainder of the scene.
- Escalation of: Depression
- Multiple Personality Disorder -•• (WoD p.99)
- See book. More or less, something so awful happens that your character's personality fractures into different personas, so he can deny the trauma or any actions it causes by blaming someone else.
- Mechanically, this means you may effectively have stats on your +sheet that only one of your personalities "knows" how to use. Staff encourages you to sit down and work out the details of which dots each "persona" would have. One may be a social seductress who could persuade blood from a stone, while the other is so inept she can hardly ask for change at the supermarket without offending the cashier. There is no change in how you spend your xp. This is strictly for how your broken head uses those spends.
- Escalation of: Irrationality
- Mystic Personality -••/-•••
- Roll reflexive Resolve + Composure any time your character succeeds at a goal to see if it goes to his head. If the roll fails, for the remainder of the scene, you are so busy congratulating yourself on your awesomeness that you only help others half-heartedly. Why aren't they focused on you, who did this awesome thing? Sure, maybe they helped... Teamwork efforts get -3, and all Social rolls suffer a -1 penalty.
- Escalates into: Megalomania
- Obsessive Compulsion -•• (WoD p.98)
- Determine a set of specific actions/behaviors your character follows to the exclusion of all else. See book for helpful examples. Resisting these actions requires a successful Resolve + Composure - 2 roll. If something/someone prevents your character from acting on his compulsive obsession, he may well lose control and strike out at those around him, ally or not.
- Escalation of: Fixation
- More or less: you believe the world is out to get you, and you have excellent, daily-honed theories as to why, whether or not they are actually rational things to believe. Do tin hats really protect from alien mind rays? Automatic -2 penalty on all Social rolls. The slightest hint of suspicious behavior provokes a Resolve + Composure - 2 roll to retain control. Failing means your character either flees or attacks (verbally or physically) the offender.
- Escalation of: Suspicion
- Roll reflexive Resolve + Composure when encountering what your character fears. If you fail, you are terrified beyond reason and can't be any closer to the source of your fear than your Speed in yards. Attacks against it suffer -5 penalty. If you can't escape right away, you freeze in place until you can. Defense/dodging to take cover do still apply while frozen.
- Please look up the name of your phobia online and use it when requesting the new flaw. Phobia (Ailurophobia) vs. Phobia (Fear of Cats).
- Escalates into: Hysteria
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder -••
- Repression -•
- Rote-Action Repetition -•
- Schizophrenia -•• (WoD p.99)
- See book for detailed explanation. More or less, conflicting feelings/impulses cause a withdrawal from reality, which can manifest in violent changes of behavior and hallucinations. Classic insanity. You talk to walls, believe you're a King, or that your cat told you to murder your neighbor for not letting it pee in the petunias. Automatic -2 to all Social rolls, and if someone provokes you/accuses you/tells you something disturbing/argues with you, roll Resolve + Composure to avoid attacking them (verbally or physically) or fleeing from them.
- Escalation of: Vocalization
- Supernatural Fascination -•
- Suspicion -• (WoD p.98)
- When your character suffers intentional misfortune (someone cuts you off in traffic, preempts you in the water-bubbler line at the office to flirt with a girl, etc.), roll Resolve + Composure to resist becoming extremely suspicious of everyone's motives toward him, trust undermined no matter who they are, whether or not the person actually meant him harm. See book for details. Social rolls suffer -1 penalty.
- Escalates into: Paranoia
- Synesthesia -•
- Unbridled Confidence -•
- Vocalization -• (WoD p.98)
- Roll Resolve + Composure when under stress to see if your character starts compulsively talking to herself (internal monologue montage!) to reason it out. Your character doesn't realize she's speaking aloud unless it's pointed out, at which point she may stop for 1 turn (3 seconds) per dot of Wits she has, at which point she goes right back to doing it all over again, no matter who is there. For the rest of the scene.
- Escalates into: Aphasia, Schizophrenia
- Waking Nightmare -•
- Wanderlust -•
- Withdrawal -••
- Zealotry -••
|
- Flaw - Allergy -•/-•• (HR)
- Your character has an allergy of some kind. At the -1 dot level, this is a fairly mild allergy and non-life threatening. At the -2 dot level, you suffer from severe allergic reactions which will result in death if left untreated. This flaw may be taken in place of Dietary Restriction if the allergy is not food-related. A character often exposed to the fae world MAY have allergies to Hedge-specific flora or fauna.
- May not be resolved. Symptoms can be lessened by immunotherapy, but not removed entirely.
- Your character is blind. This may be temporary, or permanent, depending upon the cause. Any Perception rolls relying on vision alone are automatic failures. You cannot read without audio translations, Braille or similar tactile aid.
- May or may not be resolved, depending on type of blindness.
- Flaw - Cannibalism -• (RoS p.98)
- Your character has developed a taste for human flesh. It isn't quite an addiction, but it is a strong preference and influences your actions.
- May be resolved with long term effort. No logs required.
- Flaw - Crippled -• (WoD p.219)
- Your character is confined to a wheelchair. Your Speed is equal to your Strength attribute. In combat terms, movement requires an Instant action OR applies a -2 penalty to Speed and any action performed (i.e. you're using one arm to spin a wheel to move and the other arm to do something else).
- May or may not be resolved, depending upon why you are crippled.
- Your character is deaf. This may be temporary, or permanent, depending upon the cause. Any Perception rolls relying on hearing alone are automatic failures. You may suffer social stigmas if your speech is affected by your lack of hearing.
- May or may not be resolved, depending on type of deafness.
- Flaw - Deformity -• (WoD p.219)
- Your character has a misshapen limb, terribly visible scar or some other physical affliction which might cause revulsion in others. You suffer a -2 penalty on Social rolls with new acquaintances.
- May or may not be resolved, depending upon plastic surgery.
- Flaw - Dietary Restriction -• (HR)
- Your character can't eat certain foods without suffering some form of penalty. This could be food allergies, or perhaps renal failure, or any other medical/social/religious reason.
- May or may not be resolved, depending on the nature of the restriction.
- Flaw - Dwarf -• (WoD p.219)
- Your character's adult Size is 4. Unlike Small-Framed, your character legitimately suffers from dwarfism, with shorter limbs and all social stigmas included. You also have one fewer health box.
- May not be resolved.
|
- Flaw - Hard of Hearing -• (WoD p.219)
- Your character's hearing is very poor. Apply a -2 penalty to any hearing-based perception rolls. This specifically does not grant +activity points unless the hearing loss caused you notable trouble, such as missing the sound of a car pulling up nearby when you were about to cross the street.
- May or may not be resolved, depending upon how it was received.
- Flaw - Lame -• (WoD p.219)
- Your character has a leg or foot condition that impedes his movement, slowing him down. Your basic Speed factor is 2 instead of 5 (Strength + Dexterity + 2 = your new Speed). As with poor hearing, you do not get a +activity unless this slow speed caused you story-worthy problems to overcome.
- May or may not be resolved, depending upon how it was received.
- Your character requires a particular medication to remain healthy. This could be blood thinners for heart disease, ADHD meds, or any other type of drug which is designed to prevent a specific ailment. Without access to this drug, your character suffers appropriate physical and/or social penalties.
- May or may not be resolved, depending upon the issue being medicated.
- Flaw - Mute -• (WoD p.219)
- Your character cannot speak and must communicate through other means.
- May or may not be resolved, depending upon how it was received.
- Flaw - One Arm -• (WoD p.219)
- Your character is missing an arm. At ST discretion, tasks which normally require two arms take twice as long to perform, or are simply impossible. Take a -3 penalty to complete challenging tasks in a normal amount of time.
- May not be resolved, but getting a prosthetic can reduce the penalty to -1, while a token limb removes the penalty altogether.
- Flaw - One Eye -• (WoD p.219)
- Your character is missing an eye. She has no real depth perception, so all penalties for ranged attacks are doubled. Rolls in heavy traffic require the /weak modifier in +roll (no-again and ones (1) rolled subtract from successes).
- May not be resolved, though a token limb may remove the penalties involved, depending on its purpose and construction.
- Flaw - Poor Sight -• (WoD p.219)
- Your character's sight isn't great. Apply a -2 penalty to any sight-based perception rolls. See hearing for +activity note.
- May not be resolved, though wearing glasses can remove the penalty.
