Too Tough to Die
Merit · 5 pts
See Mage 20, p. 644.
As any Life-skilled mage understands, “average” is a mean ingless concept with regards to biological organisms. Even so, certain features of a physical body make it harder for a person to function in a world that’s often built for “average” people. Physical Flaws reflect limitations of a character’s body that are not – without magick, technology or both – things she can repair. That said, a person with such “flaws” is often more resourceful than someone who hasn’t had to work around those obstacles.
Physical Flaws also make excellent Genetic Flaws for Enhanced and genegineered characters, as described in Mage 20, p. 650. Taken that way, however, each Flaw is worth only one point, and so you’d be better off taking most such Flaws in addition to the Genetic ones unless the Flaw in question is worth only one or two points to begin with.
