===== Character Hindrances =====
Hindrances are flaws, drawbacks, or dark
secrets drawn from a character’s backstory.

You can take up to 4 points of Hindrances.
A Major Hindrance is worth 2 points, and
a Minor is worth 1. A hero could thus take
two Major Hindrances, four Minor, or any
combination that adds up to 4 points. (You
can take more Hindrances if you want but the
maximum benefit is 4 points!)

Taking Hindrances not only helps you
define and roleplay your hero, but also gives
you additional points you can use to start
with additional attribute or skill points, Edges,
or even money for gear.

For 2 points you can:
  * Raise an [[Attributes|attribute]] one die type, or
  * Choose an [[Edges|Edge]]

For 1 point you can:
  * Gain another skill point, or
  * Gain additional starting funds equal to twice your setting’s starting amount.
