What follows is a list of merits and flaws that we do not allow.
Merits
Merits tend to be banned because they are either mooted by setting, obsoleted by house rules, beg for abuse without providing much in the way of good story, or are a titanic hassle for staff. NOTE that a merit or flaw may be banned in one sphere, but not others.

Flaws
Flaws tend to be banned because they make headaches for staff or are inappropriate for the setting. Where possible, alternatives have been suggested. NOTE that a merit or flaw may be banned in one sphere, but not others.
Changeling: The Dreaming
| Flaw (Freebies) | Rationale |
|---|---|
| Twisted Apprenticeship (1) | I'd rather you played pre-chrys. |
| Divided Loyalties (3) | The War isn't happening, this flaw is moot. |
| Hostage (1-5) | Inappropriate for our setting. |
| Lost Horizon (4) | Any such Eshu confined to Detroit are gone with the rest of the County. |
| Nemesis (5) | Too much hassle for staff. |
| Mortal Inhibition (4) | Too hard to interact with the world. |
| Hibernation (5) | Given our time frame, this flaw would prevent you from playing for 8 months at a time. |
| Stolen Tooth (3) | Not appropriate for MUSH. |
| Hag-Ridden (4) | Too much work for staff. |
| Arcadian/Ancient Oath (2-5) | Problematic formulation, consider Geas instead. |
| Absent-Minded (3) | In the age of logs, this flaw is rather meaningless. |
| Vengeance (2) | Not appropriate for MUSH. |
| Chimerical Magnet (5) | Suppressed for now, and beyond obnoxious besides. |
| Oathtaken (4) | The war is not happening, this Oath is not used. Consider Geas instead. |
