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.
