Some of the flaws are horrendous some really don't have much of an impact on character creation. It is not nearly as broken as S&P though.Personally as a DM I would not use them. In alot of ways they favor primary casters over everyone else, and there is really no way not to do this. I would just give a bonus feat at 1st preferably non-combat related then give out feats at every even level. And do away with flaws.I DO like the traits system. This gives flavor a plus for a minus, and they are balanced. Flaws are really just an excuse to up the power level of the game. Personaly I feel that since no character is going to take a flaw that is going to significantly hinder their character, and will take a feat that will significantly help their character that it is inherantly in-balanced. So it is just a legal means to up the power level.Me I would rather just give out more feats than have the illusion of game balance. It would work better if a specific flaw was tied to a specific feat like traits are.</blockquote>
