Since there is no end in sight to the pentex meta an 11 cap that is VERY weak to pentex qualifies as a special disability.

Can we get any confirmation on the design intent for Hazimel? Was it intended to be a special disability? The overall capacity, discipline spread, and other abilities suggest it was intended to be a positive effect.

I don't think designers would have bothered to write "Other Methuselahs' non-Ravnos vampires" if they hadn't considered every option.

I was hoping this was one of the times the card didn't do what it said.
