Hunter: The Reckoning - Deathwish lets players create vampire hunters with custom Flaws during character creation. The game uses a balancing system where players must weigh Advantages against Flaws on a scale before entering the game.
Players can build hunters with comedic or unconventional weaknesses. The report describes one possible hunter who screams when waking with hair over his face, another afraid of the dark, disease, and small spaces, and a third compulsively spraying vampires with antibacterial spray before staking them.
Character creation requires players to balance mechanical trade-offs between their hunter's strengths and weaknesses through the game's weighing scale system.
