Addiction

Flaw · 3 pts

Type
Physical

You suffer from an addiction to a substance, which must now be present in the blood you drink (or you automatically frenzy, as per the Prey Exclusion Flaw). This can be alcohol, nicotine, hard drugs, or simply adrenaline. This substance always impairs you in some fashion (see “Poisons and Drugs,” p. 301, for particulars).

Also in M20 p. 647, M20 p. 644, BoS p. 40 — text differs from V20 (39%)

You’re addicted to some activity or substance that interferes to some degree with your daily life. Perhaps you crave sex, drink constantly, or can’t stop playing video games. Whatever the nature of the addiction, it drives you to irrational and possibly dangerous extremes. A harmless habit, after all, isn’t really a Flaw.

The value of this Flaw depends upon the hazards of the addiction. A craving for some trivial enjoyment (games, tobacco, social media) is worth one point, but a drive to secure something illegal, dangerous, or both (cocaine, fight clubs, child porn, etc.) is worth three points. Severe addictions usually have a sense of moral wrongness about them as well, and they can cause social difficulties beyond the financial, legal, and physical and/ or psychological costs of the habit. The Flaw might come from any source – Ecstatic practices, psychological neurosis, physical compulsion, and so forth – that inspires deep-seated attachment to something troublesome.
