Is anyone familiar with a function similar to the "Loss of Heritage" Flaw but in regards to Class abilities? Additionally, what are some reasons why its a negative if it does?
Loss of Heritage
Prerequisite: Race with at least two racial abilities
Effect: Choose a racial ability. You are never able to use that ability, unless granted through some other means, but such effects are temporary at best. The ability you lose cannot be restored permanently to you through the use of Wish, Miracle or any other such magic.
Paladin’s falling would be my first thought. Other Divine classes can also lose their class abilities. Not exactly the same, but similar.
Fugue of Oblivion ? (though that one IS fixable, unlike the drawback)
it's meant more as plot hook used by the gm for starting a player or as an important npc setting then used in game by the players.
if interested you might want to read up this thread.
Thanks for the suggestions
