New Flaws

Hellish Body Odor - As Strange Body Odor from PHB, but varies in intensity and type. The Tiefling with this flaw always has at least a faint scent about them, which can intensify if they are nervous or exerting themselves. For any except "Woodsmoke", the character loses 1 point of Charisma. When active or nervous, the odor is quite noticeable and can potentially give away the character's location or status as a Tiefling (if they were trying to hide it or it is not obvious due to other characteristics).
