Flaws

At any time during a character's adventuring career, you can choose to take a flaw from this list. If you take a flaw, you gain a free feat. Though you can take as many flaws as you would like, you do not gain any additional beneifts from taking multiple flaws. Flaws can be found in the 'Flaws' compendium.
