Terrible Secret

You have a terrible secret which puts incredible pressure on your mind. And could lead to a complete mental breakdown if revealed.

Effect: You gain 1 daunt level which does not stack with other daunt levels inflicted on you and cannot incapacitate you. This daunt level cannot be removed by any effect. This is due to the mental stress imposed by the guilt or other burder related to your secret.

As part of this flaw, choose a secret with the GM. This secret could be your true identity, a crime you committed, or anything of that sort. The secret does not need to be true. You take a —4 penalty on all Charisma checks against creatures who are investigating your secret, suspect you to be related to your secret or that you know are aware of your secret.

Benefit: Any bonus feat for which you meet the prerequisites.

Special: If you come to terms with your secret, you remove this flaw and do not gain your next feat due to leveling.
