Faults are physical, mental, or social limitations. They are optional, but taking faults gets you more points to spend and a new way to regain focus. Each career concept has a recommended fault, but you are not required to take it. Each fault counts as 5 extra points, and you may have to three. Note that points from faults do not count against your power level, so a 50 point character with 2 faults spends 60 points, but counts as a 50 point character in every way.
Constant Effect
Each fault has a constant effect which always applies to you. This is the main drawback for taking the fault, and will put you at a disadvantage at times. The less frequently the effect applies the more extreme the impact will generally be. All constant effects from each of your faults are always in effect, so be careful how those effects overlap.
Focus Effect
Each fault lists a circumstance that allows you to gain focus. You may only regain focus from any faults once each game session. So if circumstances arise multiple times or if different faults trigger occur you are still limited to just 1 focus. If you already have all your focus you gain momentum instead.
Invoked Effect
Every fault also lists a circumstance where it may be invoked for an extra effect. You, the referee, or any other player may invoke a fault when the circumstance occurs. Just like focus, you may only have one fault invoked against you each session, so you might consider invoking your or a friend's fault just to keep the referee from invoking it later when it might be more problematic.
Prohibited Ability
Each fault specifies one ability that you may not purchase. Usually that ability is completely contrary to the fault or mechanically incompatible.
Eliminating a Fault
Each time you take a respite you may spend 5 points to eliminate a fault. You may also add a new fault, so long as you never have more than three.
- Optional Rule: In place of gaining focus from a fault, you put a check next to the fault. You may only eliminate the fault once you have 5 checks next to it.
