Flaw Selections

   Flaws are special disadvantages you can choose when creating a new character.  While each flaw increases your number of starting specialties, they are intentionally under-compensated: their primary purpose is to provide bragging rights and an additional challenge for expert players.

   Flaws cannot be added to or removed from existing characters except by spending quest crystals; the choice is usually permanent. Like Underdark races, they are unavailable to completely new players: you can only choose flaws by logging on an existing character of level 50 or greater before creating your new one.

Divided Attention: A character created with the Divided Attention flaw is unable to wear equipment or wield weapons that are forbidden to any of his classes. In compensation, he receives two additional specialties.  Only multi-classed characters may choose this flaw.  Divided Attention may not be added with quest crystals if you are an avatar ranger.
