Not everyone can be good at everything. In fact, everyone has that thing they're really bad at. When creating your character, the GM will ask you to distribute deficiency points to certain skills. Rolls associated with these skills will incur penalties ranging from minor to major. Deficiencies are split into three categories in order of severity: incompetent, deficient, and impaired. Impairments are the most extreme forms of deficiencies and carry with them special effects, usually in the form of phobias and birth defects.
Consult your GM before taking an impairment.
