You were a small child (between five and 10 years old) at the time of your Embrace, leaving your Physical Attributes underdeveloped and making it difficult to interact with some aspects of mortal society. You may not have more than two dots in Strength or Stamina at character creation, except when raising Physical Attributes with blood points, and the difficulties of all die rolls when attempting to direct or lead mortal adults are increased by two. Characters with this Flaw should also take the Short Flaw.

Awakening

often hits before legal maturity. This wasn’t a problem in the old days, but within modern society a young mage has certain built-in limitations: physical size, life experience, legal status (or lack thereof), and the challenges of being taken seriously in a grown-up world. Perhaps you’re a child prodigy… or an adolescent whose reality truly is beyond understanding. In any case, this Flaw represents the social, legal, and physical obstacles of being a kid.

Depending on the value of this Flaw, your character might be a young child (3 points), a pre-adolescent young person (2 points), or someone near the verge of adulthood but not quite there (1 point). In the first two cases, you should also take Short to reflect a growing body… and in all cases, your ability to run with the mages is going to be limited by your age and the ways in which people react to it. For more details, see Child-Mages

in Chapter Two, pp. 115-116.
