Just to test things, I made a char that maxed out on flaws and ranked it to 25.

When I got there, I still just had 1 edge point (I could choose one edge from the 'crappiest' tier.)

Is this the way it is supposed to work? I mean, I go that you are not supposed to 'benefit' from picking flaws.. But to hardly get anything at all seems a bit misleading based on the helpfile.

You do get something back (for most flaws) but it's pretty much always a bad trade. The only flaws that give you a significant boost are pretty much all extremely crippling.

Which, for the most part, is by design.

Yeah, taking flaws thinking you are going to get some perks in the edge department later will lead only to disappointment. Gains, if any, are going to be very meager. You could easily have earned those low-end edges anyway with a few minutes of exploring later in life. Save the flaws for supplementing awesome role entries and don't expect any other benefit than what comes along with that.

Also note that some flaws may provide no benefit at all on edges, such as the -charisma one, since it really doesn't affect characters in any really crippling way.

edit: imms are 52+, not 51+ :p nt

nt

51-52 = Heroimm
53-59 = Immortal
60 = Implementor

Starting from level 52.

The powers were something like (if I recall correctly):

52: VIP tag
53: Delete post
54: See deleted post
58: Ban user
59: See user e-mail address
60: Admin level (Gabe and Dioxide)

New VIPs started at level 53 in practice. I recall people accusing Yhorian abusing the powers he didn't have when he was a lowbie VIP (for banning people, I think). I'm sure some of the Imms have faced similar accusations.
