This article is a temporary repository for Flaws, consisting of the stats for the Flaw (FP 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.

A character with Honesty (LSD) 3d or stronger is usually referred to, by GMs and players, as a "Paladin on LSD".

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:

Letter Meaning Explanation
C underestimates Combat/Courage The character is inclined to assume that members of the group are feeble in combat, and that the do not constituce a tactical threat; that they are physically and martially weak.
H Hates The character hates members of the group, and will strike out opportunistically when he gets the chance to inflict harm on them.
I underestimates Intellect The character is inclined to assume that members of the group are intellectiually feeble, and that they do not constitute a strategic threa; that they are stupid and highly unlikely to understand complex problems and tricks.
P insults/Provokes The character has a tendency to verbally lash out at the group, mostly when members are present but also when they are not, in either case expressing unfavourable opinions of them (possibly the nature of those opinions are influenced by other Elements that the character's Animosity may contain, but the opinions are always negative and insulting).
S Suspects (paranoia) The character has a tendency to suspect the group as a whole, or gatherings of members of the group, or individual specimens, to be conspiring either against the character directly or against the group or groups that he belongs to, with the purpose of overthrowing his way of life. The character's attitude is paranoid, and at high Roll Strengths he can come across (to those who do not share this specific flavour of Animosity towards the group) as a mad conspiracy theorist.

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
Homophobia

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). This is the same as the less mild form of the Ahl al-Kitab principle of Islam.

Jewish Intolerance is vs a Huge group (almost nobody is Jewish!) and tends to be IS, although sometimes there's an added P Element. It's rare in general, but the Ärth character Solomon ben Melchior is one example (and he most definitely has the IPS version!). Most Jews instead exhibit Abrahamic Intolerance.

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)

Homophobia tends to involve Elements of C (regarding gay men as being severely deficient in masculinity) and H (hatred - duh!) and P (creating an unpleasant verbal atmosphere), and is either vs a Small group if it is only against men who are openly homosexual (and usually only passive homosxuals - active penetrators are in this case not hated), or a Medium group if the Animosity is more wide-ranging and is against all men who fail to live up to heteronormative ideals of masculinity and manliness.

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