Flaws
By Carl Cramér, except where noted.

Dormancy
You have some condition that induces dormancy. During this time, you will always seek out a safe place to rest and cannot awaken once you has fallen into dormancy. The conditions are almost always predictable and regular, something no group of investigators can induce. Vampires commonly have dormancy weakness during the day, ghosts may have a dormancy weakness at all times except the hour after midnight etc. You always know ahead of time that you will become dormant, giving you time to seek shelter. When forcibly awakened (such as by an attack), you suffer four points of impairment. For each sequence after that in which you were awakened, this penalty is reduced by one, but never to less than one point of impairment.

Rage
Under certain conditions, such as the smell of blood, under the light of the full moon or when wounded enough to suffer impairments, you go berserk. You will go absolutely mad, killing indiscriminately and heedless of your own wounds. This means you will not try to escape and won't use tactics beyond a mindless charge against the most obvious opponent, thus taking extraordinary risks. The rage ends at the end of the fight, but you may have to make Willpower rolls to avoid attacking friends.

Supernatural Creature
You are vulnerable to Summoning.

Tool Ignorant
You may not use any tools in hands more complicated than a stick or a stone.
