Anosmia	1	General	Physical	W20 Core, pg 473	Synopsis: Whether from birth or due to some illness or accident, you’ve lost all sense of taste and smell. System: You automatically fail any roll involving these two senses, including Primal Urge rolls for tracking or hunting. In Lupus form, it’s even more crippling, since smell is a wolf’s most acute sense; this Flaw cancels out the –2 difficulty to Perception rolls a Garou gets in that form. There’s a slight benefit, however: At the Storyteller’s discretion, you may be immune to the debilitating effects of environmental conditions, Gifts and supernatural abilities that rely on odors. Notes:
Hard of Hearing	1	General	Physical	W20 Core, pg 473 V20 Core, pg 480	Synopsis: You have problems hearing certain sounds or ranges of sounds, or have some other problem that affects your auditory senses. System: You have a +2 difficulty to all rolls involving hearing sounds. You do not receive the normal bonus for Perception in Lupus form for auditory checks. Notes:
Monochrome Vision	1	General	Physical	W20 Core, pg 473	Synopsis: You cannot distinguish between colors, but see the world in varying shades of black and white and gray. This is not true color-blindness, which usually refers to the inability to distinguish between certain colors (such as red and green). System: Color has no meaning for you, though you can differentiate intensities of shade — dark gray, light gray, dull gray, etc. This Flaw occurs more frequently among lupus Garou. Notes:

Animal Musk	1	Shifter	Physical	W20 Core, pg 473	Synopsis: You have the odor of an animal, even in Homid form. System: Whenever you are indoors or in a crowd of people, you make all Social rolls at a +2 difficulty. Outdoors or in situations where you can distance yourself from humans, your odor is not noticeable. Wolves (and lupus-born Garou) take little notice of this Flaw. Notes:

Barren/Sterile	4	Kinfolk	Physical	W20 Core, pg 382	Synopsis: For Kinfolk who serve werewolves as perpetuators of the species, inability to reproduce is a serious Flaw indeed. Not only does it carry a social stigma, it may also incur abuse, neglect, or even exile. System: Kinfolk who can’t reproduce lose a great deal of their value in Garou eyes. For obvious reasons, vampire and wraith who were Kin can’t take this Flaw Notes:
Inferiority Complex	1	Kinfolk	Mental	W20 Core, pg 382	Synopsis: Nope, you’re not worthy. Never have been, never will be. System: In situations requiring you to take charge or be personally responsible, all your difficulties are raised by one. Notes:
Ulterior Motive	2	Kinfolk	Mental	W20 Core, pg 382	Synopsis: Something other than love and respect for your Garou relatives and Kinfolk guides your actions. This “something” may be as simple as greed or a lust for vengeance; you could also be a traitor working for an outside agency. Whatever the case, this ulterior motive holds your ultimate loyalty. System: Should someone suspect things aren’t as they seem, you could be in big trouble. This Flaw makes a good complement for the Flaw: Dark Secret (W20 Core, pg 480). Notes:
Outsider	2	Kinfolk	Social	W20 Core, pg 382	Synopsis: Because of rumors (true or not), an ill-done deed, poor decision, or some other character flaw, you have a poor reputation among Kinfolk and Garou. They don’t necessarily hurt you, but they let you know you aren’t welcome in their camps or homes. System: Make all Social rolls involving interaction with werewolves and Kin at +2 difficulty. Notes:
Veiled	5	Kinfolk	Supernatural	W20 Core, pg 383	Synopsis: For some reason, you’re not immune to the Delirium. System: Gifts such as Part the Veil and the Rending of the Veil rite have no effect on you. You do receive a +1 bonus on the Delirium chart (p. 263) and retain all memories of what you see, but the sight of a Garou in Crinos form still invokes some sort of instinctive, uncontrollable reaction in you. This may convince Garou you’re not really Kinfolk, reduce your likelihood of finding a Garou mate, or throw your heritage into question. Notes:
