 ====== Weaknesses ======
-Weaknesses are powerful, ongoing drawbacks that make life harder for both adventurers and the foes they face. Having a weakness grants additional classes/abilities that don't count against the normal limit of one class/ability per level.

 If you somehow gain a new weakness, you also retroactively gain any new ability slots that your level would normally entitle you to. If you somehow lose a weakness, you lose some of your abilities until you have the appropriate amount.

 ^# ^Weakness ^Explanation ^
 |1-6/1 ^Anonymous |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**DON'T LOOK AT ME:** You're weakened against those who know who you are or what you look like. While in the presence of somebody who has seen your true face or spoken your true name at any point during the current session (including allies), you get 1 action per round instead of the normal 2 and you reroll all trigger dice twice and take whichever result is lower. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Unmasking:** If you're wearing a mask to keep yourself more anonymous, others can try to remove it against your will. A creature that has inflicted the Grabbed condition to you can attempt to tear your mask off as an action; this requires them to roll a trigger die and get a result of 7+. |
-|1-6/2 ^Awkward |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Wheeled:** You're just not all that agile. You treat rough or uneven ground as difficult terrain, and can't use stairs (or anything else of equal roughness/slope) at all. Climbing is impossible for you. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**EXTRA FLOPPY:** If you have one or more of the following classes, you're EXTRA FLOPPY and suffer additional, much greater drawbacks from this weakness: \\ - [[Flyer]] \\ - [[Mariner]] \\ - [[Spacer]] \\ - [[Teleporter]] \\ - [[Vehiclist]] \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**It sucks to be EXTRA FLOPPY:** Being EXTRA FLOPPY makes gravity not your friend at all, giving you two impairments to default land-based movement and causing you to take +2 damage from all incoming attacks when you're on solid ground. |

-|1-6/3 ^Blind |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**One Less Sense:** All spaces always have complete concealment for you. Any weapon capable of dealing additional damage on a backstab always does so against you regardless of where it comes from. You cannot visually distinguish the details of anything or read most text. It's strongly recommended for adventurers with this weakness to invest in abilities to partially negate it, such as the [[Striker]]'s Blind-Fight, the [[Ranger]]'s Scent, or the [[Burrower]]'s Tremorsense. |

-|1-6/4 ^Dilettante |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Shallow Learner:** You are incapable of sticking with anything long enough to get really good at it. You cannot ever learn an advanced ability from any class- every new level means a new class for you. |

-|1-6/5 ^Distracted |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Not Ready For That:** Adventurers with this weakness always have 0 actions during initiative rounds. This overrides the effects of the [[Vigilant]] class. Non-adventurers with this weakness take just 1 action during their first turn instead of the normal 2. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Overlook:** Any ability that requires a trigger die check in order to fool or take advantage of  a subject (such as [[Charlatan]], [[Illusionist]], [[Shadow]], [[Thief]], etc) always succeeds against you automatically. |

 |1-6/6 ^Drudge |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Yes, Master:** You're either cursed or basically spineless, and are compelled to obey any order given to you by an authority figure (even enemy authority figures). If two such orders contradict each other, you follow the most recent one. |
 |1-6/7 ^Frail |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Hollow-Boned:** You take +2 damage from all attacks. |

 |7+/8 ^Simple |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Stimulus, Response:** You do not possess a sapient mind. You cannot use or understand any form of language (other than perhaps being trained to follow simple commands from trusted allies) and are incapable of abstract thought or complex tool use. You don't know how to open doors. |
 |7+/9 ^Slowpoke |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**What's the Hurry:** You have a permanent impairment to all movement taken via any means. This also applies to any vehicles you pilot. |
-|7+/10 ^Synthetic |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Metal over Meat:** You are not organic life. You cannot restore Energy, restore Flesh, remove conditions, or reduce Stress via any ability from the following classes (all other ability features work as normal): \\ - [[Chef]] \\ - [[Deathtouch]] \\ - [[Fecundite]] \\ - [[Healer]] \\ - [[Regenerator]] \\ - [[Ritualist]] \\ - [[Smoker]] \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mechs, Not Meds:** You cannot benefit from the [[Hospice]] establishment's Clinic facility. You can get the same benefits from the [[Workshop]] establishment's Repair Shop facility, however. |

 |7+/11 ^Tethered |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Homebound:** You cannot ever leave a certain area (such as a certain building, a geographical location like a pond, or similar). In a dungeon, you are bound to a certain node and can enter neighboring nodes, but cannot travel any further. |
 |7+/12 ^Volatile |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Contents Under Pressure:** Whenever you are critically hit by any attack, an explosion is triggered at your location that deals unreduceable damage equal to the current Escalation to you and everyone else within 5 meters of you (including both allies and enemies). \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Final Burst:** You automatically explode when killed, even if it wasn't by a critical hit. |
