Hubris

Hubris

**3 pt Flaw**

(3 pt Flaw) The Silver Fangs are the chosen children of Falcon and the appointed leaders of the Garou Nation. They are purer in their breeding than their cousins in the other tribes are. They have much, in fact, to be proud of. However, some of the tribe take this pride too far, passing through arrogance into hubris. They look down their noses at their fellows from “lesser tribes” and even members of their own tribe of less pure Chapter Three: Good Breeding breeding. They consider themselves the best-suited werewolves for any task and always assume that they are the alpha of any gathering. They struggle to keep the disdain and condescension out of their voice when dealing with others and sometimes even aggravate the spirits with their offhand behavior.

MET: This Flaw goes beyond the Condescending Negative Trait (though chances are the character has that as well), to the realm of nearly staggering arrogance. The Garou suffers a one-Trait penalty on all Social tests with anyone of perceived inferior social standing — and that’s just about everyone — and tends to overestimate not only the goodwill of her peers but her own capabilities as well, sometimes with disastrous results. Naturally, when things go wrong it still isn’t her fault; one of the little people must have screwed it up, big time!
