You cannot stand to watch others suffer. You avoid any situation that involves causing someone physical or emotional pain, unless you make a Willpower roll (difficulty 8). You must have a Humanity rating of 7 or above to take this Flaw — vampires on Paths of Enlightenment can only take this Flaw with Storyteller approval.

You hate to witness suffering. Sadly, the World of Darkness is filled with pain, and so you often find yourself either avoiding potentially traumatic situations or trying to ease suffering even when that puts you in the line of fire too.

When confronted with someone else’s physical or emo­ tional pain, make a Willpower roll (difficulty 8). If you fail, your character either withdraws from the situation or possibly (if his beliefs /faith /paradigm /Nature demands action) does something reckless in order to prevent further suffering. A successful roll means that you can act normally… which could still involve withdrawal or recklessness, but displaying a bit more self-control.

Whether because of an abundance of empathy and compassion, or simply a weak stomach, you cannot stand to watch others suffer. You must avoid or leave any situ­ ation that involves someone in physical or emotional pain, unless you succeed on a Willpower roll (difficulty 8).
