 |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+. | |1-6/1 ^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.

-|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. |+|1-6/2 ^Awkward |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Wheeled:** You're just not all that agile.

 |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, the [[Fool]]'s Oblivious, or the [[Burrower]]'s Tremorsense. | |1-6/3 ^Blind |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**One Less Sense:** All spaces always have complete concealment for you.

-|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.

-|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. |+|1-6/5 ^Distracted |{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Not Ready For That:** Adventurers with this weakness always have 0 actions during initiative rounds.

 |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. | |1-6/6 ^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).
