Something about you makes others look at you as if you are deserving of their pity. Perhaps they see you as still a cub, despite your age or experience. You gain one die on Social rolls when actively playing up your pitiable nature. Wheedling someone into helping you would be appropriate; intimidating them into submission would not. Final word rests with the Storyteller in regards to when this Merit’s benefit may be used.

Also in BoS p. 55 — text differs from W20 (50%)

Oh, you poor thing! People want to help you, and you’re willing to let them do so. Although this Merit lowers the difficulty of your social rolls by -2 when you’re trying to get someone to take care of you, it adds +2 to the difficulty of rolls that attempt to intimidate people or otherwise impress folks into taking you seriously.
