Initiate to the Road

Supernatural Merits & Flaws

1 point Flaw

You are a newcomer to your chosen road of enlightenment and have yet to face your first moment of truth upon it. Although you understand the road's tenets and teachings on an intellectual level, you haven't put them to the test against the Beast, so you cannot claim the mantle of a true adherent. This may be the result of having only recently been Embraced or having just changed roads, in which case the Apostate Flaw may be appropriate (p. 306). You do not have the aura tied to your road, and you face a +1 difficulty penalty in resisting frenzy and Rotschreck, but you have an easier time changing roads if you wish to do so (see p. 267).
