{{Distat}}
Drawbacks are special options that can be added to talents. A talent with a drawback has its cost reduced by 1, to a minimum of 1. Thus, a character could take a drawback for a 2nd level talent and only spend one point on it. The talent will still count as 2nd level, but its value will always only be one point; the character may not count it as a two-point talent when qualifying for a higher talent level. A talent's cost can never be reduced by more than one stat point. A character may not take more drawbacks than the level of the highest talent they qualify for. Thus, the maximum number of drawbacks any character can have is six.
