This week's video! In this one, I talk through a few ideas for how to come up with character flaws (including but not limited to the rolling tables associated with character backgrounds in the player's handbook!)

So one of the characters that I love playing is a Tabaxi duelist named Scratch On Wood, Scratch for short. I have a long backstory for her that I won't delve into here but her flaws came out naturally during the campaign! So she started the journey with the flaw of what I called "silver spooned." She grew up in a loving home that was a family of nobles so she was not used to the differences in her life to adventuring. The first time the group decided to camp for the night, Scratch was aghast at how calm everyone was and bunkered down like it was the apocalypse. Then while she grew and got used to her surroundings she developed some new flaws! Imagine Tony Stark meets Pinkie Pie! She doesn't read rooms very well and can sometimes get her group in trouble because of it. Since her job before adventuring was dueling for entertainment she sometimes forgets that fights are real and insists she does things with a flourish! If she misses or gets hit, she gets upset and it takes a minute for her to realize it's not always a show! she's so fun to play and the development and change to her flaws just makes her feel so real!
