Mountain Folk Merits and Flaws

== Special ==
#Jack of All Trades (2 pt. Enlightened Only)
#Born to Rule (Enlightened Only)
#Alternative Divination (Enlightened Only-- I don't yet have a system in mind to handle the fact that you're skating on the edge of being a Chaos Seer, but I'll be thinking on it)
#Sterile (Unenlightened only-- 1 pt. indicates genderlessness)
#Past Lives (1 pt. only-- provides no benefit to operating First Age tech)
#Weak Willed (Unenlightened Only)
#Unskilled (Unnelightened only)
#Unbidden Oracle (Chaos Seers only)
#Greater Curse (reduces maximum Divergence)

== Unlikely ==
#Selective Conception (pertinent to spawning Jade-blooded, but probably a waste of points)
#Large Size (possible for a Worker/Warrior who had undergone alchemical regimens to bulk them up)
#Special Sense (possible through the miracles of internal alchemy, but far more apt to be granted by artifacts)
#Mutation (This is actually the only way they might have mutations, and that's going to involve all sorts of freakish mad scientist stuff being done by Artisans with their alchemy. I find it far more likely they'll have creatures with mutations than mutate each other)
#True Love (They don't build these kind of emotional bonds often, though it's certainly possible)
#Innocuous (This creates problems, but it could also create stories, so I'm torn.)
#Priest (Enlightened only-- Autocthon isn't around to answer prayers and the Mountain Folk aren't apt to pray to many other beings as supplicants. This works better for a Chaos Seer who serves a 3rd Circle demon or something, but I could also see a diplomat who has pacts with a Gemlord. Hard to say.)
#Callous (Unenlightened only. This weakens Charms. Probably a bad idea.)
#Weak Essence (Enlightened only)

== Banned ==
#Prodigy (like Solars, Abyssals and Lunars, they already have the limit of Favored Abilities)
#Terrestrial Bloodline (obviously)
#Small (pygmy dwarves are ridiculous)
#Pacifist (The Conclave won't tolerate this kind of bullshit.)
#Barbarian (The Jadeborn are too civilized for this.)

== Comments ==
Can we get a source for this? I don't doubt it, but it's nice to be able to point and say "this is where it came from." - [[Raindoll]]
