Virtue flaw: Otherworldly Empathy (Compassion)

Overcome with boundless good-will, the character extends the fullness of his compassion to all things, truly–his fellow men, animals, rocks, mathematical lemmas, Deathknights, inhuman Fair Folk, even to Neverborn or Yozi. He empathizes with any being animate or inanimate, no matter how malevolent or inhuman they may be, and takes pains to ensure their happiness and comfort, though not necessarily to the point of becoming complicit in schemes or plans that are directly inimical to Creation. For some characters, this manifests as an emotional regression, as they become like children who deem inhuman demons and wyld behemoths “cute.” If they are attacked, they will react as if a puppy were nipping at them–they may scold the attacker or attempt to leave, but they will never fight back or cease displaying Compassion to his attackers.

Partial control: While the character is still filled with Compassion for all things, they can defend themselves against beings that attack them, and do not need to continue showing empathy to them.

Limit: □□□□□ □□□□□

Limit Break Condition: The character witness an inhuman being perform a Compassionate act–a dog defending its master, a Deathknight sparing an innocent life, an Elemental healing an injured man, or similar.

Duration: One scene in combat, or one day otherwise.
