This is an explanation of why the things in '+liststats not-allowed' are there. The list below is not necessarily complete, and '+liststats not-allowed' is not by any means an exhaustive list of disallowed things.

  • Note: Some of these are not in '+liststats not-allowed' due to being code issues. The list here is more exhaustive than on the mush itself.

Available in some other form

Stat Explanation
Blase Overpowered.
Camarilla authority (Bullyboy, Domain, Elysium Regular, Harpy, Holder of Office, Primogen, Primogen Friendship, Sheriff's Friend) Need to negotiate these things with PC leaders.
Charmed Existence, Lucky, Self-confident Revised is already more generous about dice rolls.
Clan Friendship This does not work well in a mush environment.
Endurance of Heimdall Overpowered.
Geomancy (includes Ward Magic) Old book, no guidance as to who should have access.
Honored Birthright Does not work with C20 Kinain rules. This also applies to all Merits/Flaws/Backgrounds only from Changeling: The Enchanted.
Lore Weaver Not a large enough faction to need its own Lore.
Mistreated Minority Players are mostly non-racist reducing the impact of this flaw, those with related flaws (e.g. Hatred) will treat your character accordingly.
Military Force Overpowered. Can be handwaved in PRPs if all participants agree.
Naming Overpowered, at least the higher levels.
New Arrival This flaw is quickly remedied, plus most new PCs are new arrivals.
New Kid This flaw is quickly remedied, plus most new PCs are the new kid.
Path of Warding Dark Ages, overpowered at level 3 (Runes of Power).
Probationary Sect Member This does not work well in a mush environment.
True Gypsy Depends on the Gypsy book (super racist, will not be added).
Vitreous Path Restricted to Nagaraja (nearly extinct, only a few dozen left in the world, thus not available as PCs).
