So while they're large drawbacks, they are not something that can’t be worked around)-Lame/Amputated ArmThis a relatively Massive drawback, Huge, the worst thing a combative character could chose to have; but it is more accommodating for a mage, or other ‘noncombatant’. that said, I can’t think of no class that can just shrug off losing an arm, if nothing else, their stave must be put down to use a potion, there is no getting around this flaw, it’s game changing.-No depth perception    This one, if you ask me, is perfectly balanced: it’s the mean of noncombatant and shaky. And is possibly even more balanced then either, a ranger could get noncombatant and keep their ranged attack roles melee ability or a barbarian could get shaky and keep their melee and just lose some ranged ability. It’s the same penalty as either, but it is spread out over both ranged and melee.    -Grendath’s CurseI think this one is balanced, but I must ad the salt, this flaw needs a GM who will use it to ruin the player’s day at the worst possible time. If a GM is going to be playing nice and not using this flaw readily, and only if it harms the character, it’s broken. But if the GM has fun with it at the character’s expanse? Then it is nothing to be taken lightly-Addon: When you to only allow flaws at level 1, I asume you mean to maintin the limit of two.</blockquote>
