The description of this flaw in the PG just doesn't feel right for me -- the way it reads now is that the bigger the group, the higher the level of the flaw. E.g., if Klingons are the object, they're a big group, and so this is a level 3 flaw. If it's a lesser race (say, Bynars,) then it's a small group, and so it's only a level 1.
I'd prefer the levels to be based on the degree of animosity toward the group. For instance, level one would be a sort of general sneering disdain (no courage can be spent on social tests for this group,) level two being outright bigotry (one courage must be expended to engage in any social test at all,) and level three being a burning hatred, a sort of character flaw that goes down to the core of the character's personality -- kind of like the way Manchester Guardian cartoonist Steve Bell feels about George Bush (two courage must be expended for any social tests at all.)

Has anyone done this? Any comments/suggestions?
