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.

Faults limit your options and add burdens to overcome, but also give you points, new goals, and new ways to gain focus. You may have up to three faults, and each fault you take gives you an extra 1 point to spend. Each fault has a constant mechanical effect and prohibits a specific ability. It also has an Invoked effect which can be triggered by anyone (including you) during a specific circumstance. If invoked you gain a focus, or you may spend 1 focus instead block the effect. Each fault also has an associated [[goal]] which you can select in place of the standard game goals.

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.

Faults limit your options and add burdens to overcome, but also give you points, new goals, and new ways to gain focus. You may have up to three faults, and each fault you take gives you an extra 1 point to spend. Each fault has a constant mechanical effect and prohibits a specific ability. It also has an Invoked effect which can be triggered by anyone (including you) during a specific circumstance. If invoked you gain a focus, or you may spend 1 focus instead block the effect. Each fault also has an associated goal which you can select in place of the standard game goals.
