Disadvantages
Almost 100 disadvantages for your Heroes and Villains¸ which¸ when selected at Hero's Creation¸ grant extra points for advantages. Organized both alphabetically and according to the points granted.
In 7th Sea¸ Heroes are larger-than-life characters¸ performing awesome things one after another. But are they perfect? Some of them¸ perhaps. But a lot of players like playing imperfect characters¸ ones with a fault¸ who - despite that disadvantage - still try to make the world a better place. It adds depth and makes roleplaying more fun¸ but sometimes a bit more challenging. However¸ this raises a question: if a player makes a Hero who is afraid of fire¸ perhaps they should be awarded with a small reward to alleviate the difficulty and sweeten the challenge. I hesitate to use the word "balance¸" because 7th Sea is not about balancing Player Characters¸ but about telling awesome stories. And what is more awesome than a Hero who overcomes their disadvantage and emerges victorious at the story's end?
