Temp Flaws overview

Revision as of 16:25, 29 May 2011

This article is a temporary repository for Flaws, consisting of the stats for the Flaw (FlP for each level it can have) and perhaps a brief writeup, and short notes about other Flaws that potentially overlap.

To start with, this is just about moving the old material from the (small) MS Excel spreadsheet on Flaws, and to here.

C cliche Flaw
F favoured Flaw

Note that Adventurer is a Cliche Flaw, the non-Cliche row is shown merely as an example.

Note that Enigmaphilia is a Favoured Flaw. The non-Favoured version is shown as an example, and will be deleted at a later time.

Special Flaws

Multi-Flaws

Complex Flaws

Element Flaws

Honesty

Note: Each Element, Lie and Steal and Deceive, must be carefully explained and defined.

Animosity

An Animosity is a serious dislike for a particular group or classification of people (or sometimes non-people, e.g. Dragons) that can be frequently or rarely encountered withint the setting, and with the dislike manifesting in one or several out of five ways, defined by the mnemonic CHIPS:

Huge Group

Large group

Medium group

Small group

Tiny group

Ärth example Animosities

This subsection shows some specific Animosities for use in the Ärth historical fantasy setting:

Anti-Semitism
Christian Chauvanism or Islamic Chauvanism (vs non-Christians/non-Moslems respectively)
Abrahamic Chauvanism (vs pagans, anyone who isn't Christian, Moslem or Jew)
Misogyny

Anti-Semitism is vs Jews which are ausually Small group, usually CHPS (there's no tendency to assume that Jews are intellectually inferior), but in pagan lands they're Tiny and in some Islamic lands (the Iberian Caliphate and Arabic Caliphate) they're a Medium-sized group.

Christian (or Islamic) Intolerance is vs a Large group and usually involves the Elements of I, P and S. (variant without P Element)

Islamic Intolerance is sometimes vs a Tiny group, if the character in question subscribes to the belief that any scriptured religion is acceptable, including Hinduism and Zoroastrism, rather than only those that are based on a quranic prophet (which limits it to Christianity and Judaism, and a few obscure memetic relatives such as Mandaeism).

Abrahamic Intolerance is similar to the above, but is vs a Small group. (again, add a variant without the P Element).

Misogyny is vs a Medium group in general, because in most places women have very little influence, (but add a variant for Large and for Huge group if the character is from a pagan background or has lived most of his life in a pagan area). Elements are CI, with a variant for +P (for a total of 5 variant permutations)

Tables to come late (until then, just reference the correct rows in the tables in the previous subsections).

Phobias

New Flaw costs

Note the above are baseline costs, certain Flaws may get some or all roll FP costs modified for some or all Roll Strength values, due to being Favoured Flaws or being Clich Flaws.

Structure table (no content)

Table structures to use

Below are the generic costs for Multi-Flaws. Again, actual costs may very, due to the Multi-Flaw bein favoured, being Cliche, or for another (usually stated) reason.
