Levels

Perks and flaws provide a hero with advantages and disadvantages. A perk is usually good for a hero; a flaw is usually negative in some way. No hero is required to purchase a perk or select a flaw, though she may have perks or flaws assigned to her as the campaign progresses.

Perks and flaws not only present the character with advantages and disadvantages, but offer opportunities for good role-playing. The GM may award an extra Character Point (see below) to a hero at the end of an adventure for role-playing her perks or flaws particularly well.
