New Kid
Flaw · 1 pt
You’re the latest in the city to be Embraced or have yet to prove yourself to your Sect, and everyone knows it. That automatically puts you at the bottom of the social totem pole. Other neonates take every opportunity to demonstrate your inferiority, or rival packs constantly test your worthiness to the Sabbat. Even if someone else is added to the ranks of the unliving, you’re still regarded as something as a bit of a geek by your peers — a distinction that can have dangerous consequences if bullets start flying. All Social-related rolls are at +1 difficulty when you are dealing with other neonates. (Ancillae and elders lump you in with all the other neonates under their general disdain.)
Also in BoS p. 64 — text differs from V20 (56%)
You’ve just recently Awakened, and you still have some thing to prove. Your peers don’t think much of you just yet, and although you’ve got allies who consider you worth their time, their investment in your goodwill is minimal. Add +2 to the difficulty of your social rolls with more experienced mages until you’ve earned the right (and the experience) to buy off this Flaw. On the good side, however, you’re likely to be popular with certain companions, although – as “new meat” in a social scene often discovers – that’s not always the kind of attention you’ll want.
