| Braggart | 2 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: (Zarok) Your favorite topic of conversation is yourself. You make every attempt to bring conversations around to your achievements and successes and you never fail to take credit for everything you even vaguely affected. You cant avoid reminding others of your deeds and exploits. Consiquently, people tire of listening to you blow your own horn for more than a few minutes. System: You make all Social rolls at a penalty of +1 to your difficulty as a result of others' inattention and boredom with your self-aggrandizing speeches. (If you take this Flaw, you'll be expected to roleplay your sense of pride and over importance.) |
| Earthbound | 3 | Supernatural | WW3110 | Synopsis: (Eshtarra) You have an inherent need to feel something solid underfoot. You avoid traveling by airplane whenever possible, dislike water (even if you're able to swim) and otherwise do whatever you can to remain "on the ground". Even when you travel through the Umbra, this feeling of discomfort accompanies you. You are only at ease when you have actually arrived at some "solid" place in the Umbra. System: You must spend a point of Willpower in order to board a plane, use a Gift that allows flight or take some similar action that separates you from terra firma. You must also make a Willpower roll whenever you enter the Umbra to avoid having to suffer a +1 difficulty to all your actions while beyond the Gauntlet. |
| Errant Mind | 1 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: (Meros) You have a deserved reputation for being unreliable. Your mind tends to wander frequently so that you forget meetings you promised to attend, fail to keep promises (although sworn oaths tend to stay in your memory) and otherwise fall short of the expectations of others. System: You must spend a Willpower point each time you wish to make a determined effort to keep a promise or attend a gathering. |
| Foul Temper | 2 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: (Rorg) You suffer from perpetual anger, and this shows in your words and actions. You are quick to snap at packmates and lose your temper easily. Because you are so angry so often, you find it more difficult to accumulate Rage - anger is your normal state of being, and it's hard to focus your wrath into something more potent. System: Whenever you encounter a situation that would normally result in your gaining a point of Rage, you must make a Willpower roll (difficulty 6) to do so. |
| Incorrigible Flirt | 2 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: (Tambiyah) You cannot resist making playful attempts at seducing anyone who fits your criteria for the perfect sexual partner. Although you may not intend to begin a serious relationship (or any relationship) with the object of your desire, you find yourself assuming the roll of coquette or seducer, whichever seems more appropriate, whenever you are in the presence of someone who you consider attractive. You may find yourself flirting with more than one person at the same time, a situation that could turn awkward in a heartbeat. System: You must spend a point of Willpower to remain focused on the matter at hand and defer your urges until a more appropriate time. Worse, your Willpower is considered to be one point lower whenever "potential mates" try to seduce you or bend your will with supernatural powers. Garou with this Flaw are almost certainly Enticer bait, so don't assume it's all fun and games. |
| Indolent Will | 4 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: (Lu-Bat) You have a hard time rousing yourself to take action. Whether others call it laziness or simply a tendency towards inertia, you prefer to sit back and let others take the initiative.

| Intrigue Junkie | 1 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: (Ruatma) You cant resist the urge to complicate matters by inserting an element of intrigue in almost everything you do. Nothing for you is ever simple or straight forward. You assume that others have ulterior motives, just as you do. System: You must spend a Willpower point to resist your tendency to mistrust others or to avoid overcomplicating a simple situation. |
| Jupiter Descending | 6 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: Murphy's Law seems to rule your life. Jupiter's lucky influences reverse themselves in your horoscope, causing bad luck to plague you constantly. Fortunately, your bad luck does not bleed over into the lives and fortunes of others. This frequently causes you to resent their coparitive good fortune. System: Each time you make a roll, the Storyteller rolls an additional die. If that die is a one, it takes away one of your successes; otherwise it has no effect on your roll. |
| Mars Descending | 6 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: Your inner anger overwhelms you to the point of inarticulateness and incapacity. Despite your potential as a warrior, you just cant seem to pull it together at the right time due to your run-away passions. System: Your dice pool for combat-related actions is reduced by one. In addition, you can only spend up to two Rage points per turn, regardless of your dexterity. |
| Mercury Descending | 3 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: This unfavorable aspect causes you to have problems with limitations and boundaries due to the reversal of the qualities associated with Mercury. Communication difficulties that involve long distance or complex ideas also tend to go awry. System: You suffer a penalty of +1 to actions that involve the Gauntlet as well as attempts to maneuver through bureaucratic red tape or bypass a locked door or security systems. Rolls that involve Subterfuge also receive a +1 to their difficulty. |
| Mitanu's Retrograde Curse | 3 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: (Mitanu) The planet Mercury's retrograde position at the time of your birth has inflicted you with a perpetual handicap in communication.

System: You must spend spend a point of Willpower each time you need to make yourself understood clearly or make it to an appointment on time. |
| Reluctant Warrior | 2 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: (Nerigal) Despite your Garou nature, you loathe fighting and have to force yourself to enter battle. Once you have committed yourself to the fray, you do not have any trouble using all your abilities to their fullest; however, you never initiate combat of your own accord. This flaw does not affect your ability to defend yourself when attacked. System: |
| Sadness of Hakahe | 1 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: (Hakahe) You tend to succumb to depression whenever circumstances overwhelm you. Instead of reaching inside to find that extra will to endure or persist, you flounder in the depths of self-pity and pessimism. System: If you fail three successive rolls (either in combat or non-combat situations) you fall prey to feelings of despair and inadequacy. All successive rolls have +1 added to their difficulty until you finally succeed at something. |
| Sokhta's Minor Madness | 2 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: (Sokhta) Madness overcomes you from time to time, although for the most part you remain functional. System: Choose a Derangement for your character. Whenever the moon is in your auspice, you must roll your Willpower (difficulty 8) to avoid surrendering to your lunacy. You must make this roll every night the moon remains in your phase. At all other times of the month you function normally. |
| Suspicion Magnet | 4 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: (Ruatma) For some reason, others mistrust you and attribute all kinds of sinister motives to your every word and deed.

| Uncontrollable Appetite | 2 | Shifter | WW3110 | Synopsis: (Katanka-Sonnak) You suffer from a tendency to binge whenever you are under stress or have gone without food for more than a few hours. Something in your metabolism snaps and you feel the need to eat enormous amounts of food - everything in sight that is even vaguely edible.

Bone Gnawers with Venus Descending, however, receive two extra points in temporary Honor renown (a one-time bonus given at the time of character creation or when they Flaw is first aquired. |
