Flaws

Just pointing out that a mage is only supposed to have 5 minor flaws and no more than 2 personality flaws. I had to check this myself on p.37, as I had got it wrong too.

Noted and corrected. I tend to play fast and loose with those guidelines, both because I aim for a concept and then try to implement and also because I'm not used to the limits yet, having grow up on previous editions. But as I say, tweaked. - JB

  • Optimistic (major version). Just wondering... (I know this is a canon flaw, which I personally feel is a bit weird, but there are a lot of weird flaws under 5th ed), why you took this as a major flaw and not a minor one. What do see as being the difference between the two levels?--Perikles 10:13, 1 February 2006 (PST)

It is a little weird, I know, which is partly why I started with more Minor ones, since I have a better handle on them, I think. As for Majorly optomistic, I think it means that he's going to be sure things will work out even when it seems obvious it won't, and tend to act as though (particularly for him) Diplomacy will be able to solve the problem. It's not quite reckless, but it will mean that he won't know when to quit. - JB

Virtues

Your minor magical focus needs to be defined. j

Good point. I forgot you all can't read my mind. Extensive footnote added - JB
