Run thousands of spins on your current list in a few seconds, using exactly the same secure draw as the wheel, and compare each entry’s real share with its expected share. Test spins are not added to your results.

Why flaws matter
Make Characters Memorable
Writers often say characters become interesting when they want something and have a weakness that gets in the way. The Flaw wheel gives every character a built-in problem to solve, which is a story or drawing idea in itself.
For tabletop games
Use the wheels for quick non-player characters: spin Role, Personality and Flaw and you are ready to play.
