Physical Merits & Flaws

3 Point Flaw

Your Beast has manifested in all the normal ways, save one: you are not possessed of fangs, the deadly natural weapons of the Cainite. Without fangs, the deadly natural weapons of the Cainite. Without fangs, you have no inherent means of inflicting aggravated damage, cannot perform a bite attack in combat and cannot easily bite to feed. You must inflict no fewer than two health levels of damage to a creature with your teeth before you can freely drink its blood. (Once you have caused sufficient damage, your victim becomes docile and rapturous as normal, but getting to that point is hard and may actually require Virtue checks, as the subject writhes and screams in pain: coupling this Flaw with Grip of the Damned is an almost certain way to fall from the Via Humaitatis.) You can, of course, cut your prey with a bladed implement in order to feed, but that often creates a problem all its own, since you can't lick the wound to heal it.
