Next to every Disadvantage is a number, this number is added to your total starting skill dice. Also remeber that your starting skill dice is 7D; this number may not fall below 4D, so if your starting skill dice is already below 4D you must raise it to at least 4D by selecting disadvantages. You are allowed a maximum of 3 disadvantages. Also, if can think of any other disadvantages feel free to to send them to me.

** This Disadvantage may not always be available to every character, unless otherwise stated.

Note: GM must approve the player's selection of any Advantages or Disadvantages made.

Addiction (+3D): The character cannot go more than one day without drinking, gambling, etc (ie: satisfying his/her addiction.
