Inability to Use Arcane Magic
While divine power maybe called upon, no arcane power will ever work in favor for the Voraath. This includes magical items and weapons. The Voraath must enchant their items and weapons through a special ritual to the Watching Sun, Rune-Forged or weapons from divine enchantment to be able to gain any special talents or powers. (Cannot use normally enchanted weapons.)
Arcane Magic Susceptibility
Not only are Voraath unable to use arcane power, they are also weak against it. Unless heavily warded with shamanistic or druidic rituals Voraath are unusually un-resistant to magical effects and spells. Greater than normal damage isn't scored, but it is definitely more likely to cause full effect or damage. (+25% penalty to armor rating vs arcane attack)
Death Wish
Voraath do not comprehend fear. There is caution, there is apprehension, but once a battle is joined, a Voraath will not retreat from the fight until victory is assured, he or she is killed, knocked out or if continuing with a battle will besmirch his or her honor somehow. (75% chance to be locked into combat and unwilling to retreat until all enemies are dead).
Vulnerability to the Black Scepters of Najah
Najah Vith was the mage responsible for the creation of the Voraath. With his creation he crafted nine scepters that could be used to discipline and herd the Voraath. These scepters were kept by the Shar'Vaire that were in charge of keeping the Voraath and used to maintain order amongst them. These scepters can physically weaken a Voraath merely by striking with it. They can also cause Voraath to become lethargic and less prone to put up a fight. It is unclear how many survived the Cataclysm of D'Mir, but more than one has shown up in black markets across Tal'rah.
Vulnerability to Najah's Book of Creation
Along with the Scepters, Najah kept a book that detailed the exact methodology to create a Voraath. The book is said to contain a rite that would allow a mage or a warlock to un-make a Voraath in case of an insurrection. Najah Vith was killed in the overthrowing of the Shar'Vaire Mageocracy and the location to his Book of Creation remains unfound.
