SANITY ATTRIBUTE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Mental Health will drive you mad."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Long has it been that man values nothing more than his health,
|
|||
|
|
and the health of no organ is more important than that of the brain.
|
|||
|
|
What lurks in the minds of men and contorts them into who they?
|
|||
|
|
Lower attributes typically have hindrances, but a character
|
|||
|
|
doesn't suffer to much and in fact gets by quite nicely. With the
|
|||
|
|
Sanity attribute, life isn't so easy. When the Sanity attribute is low,
|
|||
|
|
the character can quite easily become insane and insanity is awful.
|
|||
|
|
A GM can give the players something to really fear. Most players
|
|||
|
|
are very happy with their characters. Many players feel that their
|
|||
|
|
characters are close to invulnerable as the characters advance in
|
|||
|
|
experience levels and in most incidences they are. With this attribute,
|
|||
|
|
the GM can give the character fighting chance on sanity, or go wacky.
|
|||
|
|
Sanity (San) represents mental health. Sanity is not pertinent to
|
|||
|
|
any class but is beneficial to all.
|
|||
|
|
As with all attribute scores, roll 3d6 to get this attribute
|
|||
|
|
score.

BASE INSANITY POINTS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is the base insanity points the character starts out with.
|
|||
|
|
Whenever a character recovers from an insanity, this is what his
|
|||
|
|
insanity points will revert to.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MAGICAL DEFENSE ADJUSTMENT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
These adjustments applies to saving throws against magical spells
|
|||
|
|
that attack the mind: charm, fear, illusions, suggestion, mind-reading,
|
|||
|
|
etc.. These bonuses and penalties are applied automatically, without
|
|||
|
|
any conscious effort from the character.
|
|||
|
|
The number to the left of the slash is the bonus or penalty for
|
|||
|
|
spells that try to change the mind such as charm, fear, suggestion,
|
|||
|
|
etc.. So why is there a bonus for low sanity, a penalty for sanity up
|
|||
|
|
to 18, but a bonus for sanity over 18. Mind "changing" spells have
|
|||
|
|
trouble affecting a mind warped with insanity proably because the magic
|
|||
|
|
is geared at normal minds. A sane mind tends to be an easier target for
|
|||
|
|
these spells. Sanity over 18 is typically reserved for beings on the
|
|||
|
|
diety level and so they recieve sane benefits to reflect such status.
|
|||
|
|
The number to the right of the slash is the bonus or penalty for
|
|||
|
|
illusionary spells. So why is there a penalty for low sanity and a
|
|||
|
|
bonus for high sainty. A sane mind tends to rationalize illusions as
|
|||
|
|
impossible, while an insane mind tends to believe in them a lot easier.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WILD TALENT ADJUSTMENT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When a character tests for a wild psionic talent, add this
|
|||
|
|
modifier to his base chance for having a talent.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PSP ABILITY MODIFIER
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For a character with psionic power, add this modifier to his base
|
|||
|
|
PSP score.
|
|||

|
|
SANITY ATTRIBUTE CHECK
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
GMs must decide which situations require a Sanity check. The GM
|
|||
|
|
should determine if a character would be so mortified by a situation
|
|||
|
|
that it tests his sanity. If so, the player must make a Sanity
|
|||
|
|
attribute check.
|
|||
|
|
Culture and upbringing may determine which scenes can terrify a
|
|||
|
|
character into insanity. For example, an inexperienced character may go
|
|||
|
|
crazy on his first encounter with a lich while an experienced undead
|
|||
|
|
hunter will not. Some unnatural, horrific scenes that may do it to a
|
|||
|
|
character are a rotting pile of body parts crawling with worms and
|
|||
|
|
flies; twisted, perverted creatures such as powerful undead; or
|
|||
|
|
terrible evil beings from the Lower Planes.
|
|||
|
|
Dramatic events could also make a character a little crazier. The
|
|||
|
|
death of a comrade or loved-one is definitely dramatic. Being
|
|||
|
|
resurrected is one of the most dramatic experiences a person can go
|
|||
|
|
through and the GM should always require a check when this happens.
|
|||
|
|
If the character makes the check, then he has survived a sanity-
|
|||
|
|
testing experience and gets the difference of his Sanity attribute from
|
|||
|
|
the die roll added to his current Insanity Points. For example, Rock
|
|||
|
|
has a Sanity attribute of 15. The GM requires a Sanity check. The
|
|||
|
|
player rolls a 5 thus making the check. He adds 10 (the difference) to
|
|||
|
|
his current Insanity Points.
|
|||
|
|
If the character fails the check, then he comes that much closer
|
|||
|
|
to insanity and gets the difference of his Sanity attribute from the
|
|||
|
|
die roll subtracted from his current Insanity Points. For example, Rock
|
|||
|
|
has a Sanity attribute of 15. The GM requires a Sanity check. The
|
|||
|
|
player rolls a 19 thus failing the check. He subtracts 4 (the
|
|||
|
|
difference) from his current Insanity Points.

|||

INSANITIES
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Whenever a character's Insanity Points equals 0. He goes insane.
|
|||
|
|
The player must make a Sanity ability check. Failure indicates that the
|
|||
|
|
insanity is permanent (until cured). Success indicates that the
|
|||
|
|
insanity is temporary. Roll on the Insanity table.
|
|||
|
|
Insanities can add spice and excitement to the game or they can
|
|||
|
|
totally throw it out of balance. The GM should consider the disorder
|
|||
|
|
and its effects on the game (not just game continuity or balance, but
|
|||
|
|
the player whose character will be affected).
|
|||
|
|
Realize that not all people suffer in the same degree. For example
|
|||
|
|
two people with the exact same phobia will have the phobia to varying
|
|||
|
|
degrees.
|
|||
|
|
The first attempts at explaining abnormal behavior was demonology.
|
|||
|
|
This is, abnormal behavior was caused by demon possession or evil
|
|||
|
|
spirits. Treatment was often by spells, incantations, potions, and
|
|||
|
|
psycho-surgery. A more scientific/medical model was introduced by
|
|||
|
|
Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.). His focus was on physical causes; namely
|
|||
|
|
excess of bodily fluids which he called "humors". Treatment was to
|
|||
|
|
drain the excess fluids by bleeding, vomiting, dieting, and holistic
|
|||
|
|
medicine. In the Middle Ages there was a return to demonology with the
|
|||
|
|
rise in the importance of religion in society. However, there was the
|
|||
|
|
first attempt at "humanitarian" treatment: insane asylums. They were
|
|||
|
|
far from humanitarian, but it was a start. The next advancement didn't
|
|||
|
|
occur until the 1700-1800s.

|
|
Nervous Breakdown - The character has a nervous breakdown. He is not
|
|||
|
|
"dangerous", he just needs a nice quiet place to spend some time. For
|
|||
|
|
humans the time needed to recuperate is typically a few months. For
|
|||
|
|
long-lived races like elves and dwarves the time needed to recuperate
|
|||
|
|
is typically a few years. The GM decides the time period need for
|
|||
|
|
recuperation.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Obsession - The character becomes obsessed to a person, place or thing.
|
|||
|
|
The obsession becomes his life and it totally consumes him to the point
|
|||
|
|
where he ostricises his friends and family, spends all his wealth on
|
|||
|
|
his obsession, etc..
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Obsessive-Compulsive - The character suffering from this disorder
|
|||
|
|
experiences recurrent obsessions and compulsions that a causes distress
|
|||
|
|
(anxiety), occupies much of his time which interferes with normal
|
|||
|
|
functioning. A compulsion is a behavior repeated in a ritualistic
|
|||
|
|
manner often in response to an obsession. An obsession is a persistent
|
|||
|
|
thought, idea, impulse, or image that causes distress and feels out of
|
|||
|
|
the person's control. The following is a list of the common compulsions
|
|||
|
|
and their related obsessions:
|
|||
|
|
1) Hand washing - The obsession is fear that germs are everywhere.
|
|||
|
|
2) Checkers - They are obsessed with being sure they did
|
|||
|
|
everything necessary before leaving. A person may be three hours late
|
|||
|
|
for an appointment because they checked and rechecked over and over.
|
|||
|
|
3) Rigid behavior patterns - These people will have such behavior
|
|||
|
|
patterns as: always putting the left boot on before the right, or put
|
|||
|
|
the shirt on before the pants in order for it to be right.
|
|||
|
|
4) Counting - These people are obsessed with counting. Taking the
|
|||
|
|
same amount of steps with the left foot as the right foot, counting
|
|||
|
|
buttons on people's shirts, et cetera.
|
|||
|
|
5) Cleaning - These people feel that "it's never clean enough."
|
|||
|
|
They are obsessed with cleaning. They are similar to checkers in many
|
|||
|
|
ways (see 2).
|
|||
|
|
Depression, avoidance behavior, and substance abuse is sometimes
|
|||
|
|
seen in these people for obvious reasons. This disorder is often among
|
|||
|
|
people in the upper socio-economic status. The course is chronic, not
|
|||
|
|
acute.
|
|||
|
|
This differs from the personality disorder of the same name
|
|||
|
|
because in the personality disorder you do not find the ritualistic
|
|||
|
|
behavior or the anxiety and distress that these people with the anxiety
|
|||
|
|
disorder experience (cf. Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Panic Disorder -The characteristic most prominent of this disorder is a
|
|||
|
|
panic attack. A panic attack includes intense fear and physical
|
|||
|
|
discomfort, fearful thoughts, many bodily sensations, and a fear of
|
|||
|
|
losing control. Another characteristic of this disorder is anticipatory
|
|||
|
|
anxiety (fear of fear), that is, they engage in avoidance behavior
|
|||
|
|
because they are not sure when they'll have their next panic attack.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Paranoia - The character becomes convinced that "they" are plotting
|
|||
|
|
against him, spying, listening, and always nearby. As the affliction
|
|||
|
|
develops over several days, the character will become convinced that
|
|||
|
|
everybody around is part of the plot. Conversations are about him,
|
|||
|
|
laughter is directed at him, and every action of former friends is
|
|||
|
|
aimed at deluding him so as to fulfill the "plot". The character will
|
|||
|
|
be principally concerned about position or goods first, but as the
|
|||
|
|
insanity advances, he will realize that the plotters are actually after
|
|||
|
|
his life. The paranoid will evidence signs of increasing suspicion and
|
|||
|
|
take elaborate precautions with security. In the later stages of the
|
|||
|
|
insanity, he will have highly irrational behavior, hire assassins to do
|
|||
|
|
away with "plotters", and even become homicidal in order to "protect"
|
|||
|
|
his life. The character will trust no one when the affliction has
|
|||
|
|
advanced, regarding their former close comrades and friends as their
|
|||
|
|
worst enemies.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Phobia - Many a time will a character come upon something so strange or
|
|||
|
|
gruesome that it will shock the mind itself. A phobia is an intense,
|
|||
|
|
abnormal, or illogical fear of something. See the Phobia section to
|
|||
|
|
determine what phobia the character gains.
|
|||
|
|
An example of how a phobia can severely disrupt a person's life; a
|
|||
|
|
person has a phobia of snakes. He will not walk by bushes for fear that
|
|||
|
|
snake is hiding inside, he will not walk under trees because snakes
|
|||
|
|
have been known to live in trees, he will not sit down to go to the
|
|||
|
|
bathroom (who knows what kind of serpent is down in that hole), etc..
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Post Traumatic Stress - This is generally defined at a reaction and
|
|||
|
|
re-experiencing of a traumatic event with symptoms of anxiety and
|
|||
|
|
depression. What is a traumatic event? An event that would evoke
|
|||
|
|
significant symptoms of distress in almost everyone; usually outside
|
|||
|
|
the range of normal experience (although most of an adventurer's life
|
|||
|
|
fits into this category). There are five symptoms which point to this
|
|||
|
|
insanity:
|
|||
|
|
1) Traumatic event outside range of normal experience (rape,
|
|||
|
|
floods, combat).
|
|||
|
|
2) Traumatic event persistently re-experienced in any of the
|
|||
|
|
following ways: distressing recollections of event; recurrent
|
|||
|
|
distressing dreams; feeling that event is happening again (flashback);
|
|||
|
|
intense distress at exposure to events that resemble some aspect of the
|
|||
|
|
trauma.
|
|||
|
|
3) Persistent avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma or
|
|||
|
|
"numbing" of general responsiveness. Avoiding thoughts and feelings
|
|||
|
|
about the event, or avoiding things that would remind the victim of the
|
|||
|
|
trauma. For example, if Rock's friends were decimated in a dragon fight
|
|||
|
|
and he barely escaped with his life, Rock may be apprehensive about
|
|||
|
|
petting his pet lizard (he might kill the poor beast as a result of the
|
|||
|
|
trauma). "Numbing" refers to the inability to recall some aspect of the
|
|||
|
|
trauma, restricted range of emotional expression. Perhaps Rock can't
|
|||
|
|
quite remember how one of his arms got ripped off, he just knows that
|
|||
|
|
one minute he had it, and the next thing he knew he didn't have it.
|
|||
|
|
4) Increased arousal/activity. Things such as insomnia, difficulty
|
|||
|
|
concentrating, easily startles, increased aggressiveness or
|
|||
|
|
irritability.
|
|||
|
|
5) Symptoms present for at least a month.
|

COGNITIVE-IMPAIRMENT DISORDERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Amnestic Disorder - Psychogenic amnesia is caused by psychological
|
|||
|
|
reasons. Amnestic disorder is caused by a biological reason. There are
|
|||
|
|
two forms of this disorder: retrograde amnesia (characterized by memory
|
|||
|
|
loss of events prior to the problem that caused the amnesia), and
|
|||
|
|
anterograde (characterized by inability to learn or remember events
|
|||
|
|
taking place after the event). The problem is chronic and the person is
|
|||
|
|
unlikely ever to recover.
|
|||
|
|
It is up to the individual GM to dictate if any experience levels
|
|||
|
|
are lost due to amnesia. Some players may find this hard to take, so
|
|||
|
|
GMs should be very careful in implementing level loss. If the GM does
|
|||
|
|
so, it is suggested that the character lose only one level.
|
|||
|
|
Another problem, unfortunately, is that character who suffers from
|
|||
|
|
anterograde amnesia cannot advance in level or learn new skills.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Catatonia - Whe character completely withdraws from reality. He will
|
|||
|
|
sit staring and unmoving, will not react to any outside stimuli, and
|
|||
|
|
will eventually die of dehydration if left alone. The catatonic
|
|||
|
|
icharacter can be moved, led around, fed, and so forth; but he will do
|
|||
|
|
nothing personally. If continually provoke and irrated in order to get
|
|||
|
|
a response, there is a 1% cumulative chance per round that the
|
|||
|
|
character will react with homicidal mania (see insanity). Once
|
|||
|
|
provaction ceases, the catationa returns.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Delirium - This disorder involves a temporary state in which a
|
|||
|
|
person's thoughts, level of consciousness, speech, memory, orientation,
|
|||
|
|
perceptions, and motor patterns are very confused, unstable, or
|
|||
|
|
otherwise grossly disturbed. The person may also experience delusions
|
|||
|
|
and/or hallucinations, as well as emotional disturbances (anxiety,
|
|||
|
|
euphoria, etc.). Delirium is caused by a change in brain metabolism.
|
|||
|
|
This can be caused by brain damage from head injury, drugs, fever, and
|
|||
|
|
others. It has a quick onset and a brief duration, usually and it
|
|||
|
|
rarely lasts longer than a month because the person either naturally
|
|||
|
|
recovers, or dies from the underlying physical condition. GMs should be
|
|||
|
|
very careful in killing off a character with this insanity.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Homicidal Mania - The character appears absolutely normal. He will
|
|||
|
|
behave with what seems to be complete rationality, and nothing unusual
|
|||
|
|
will be noted regarding the individual - except he will occasionally
|
|||
|
|
manifest an unique interest in weapons, poisons, or other lethal
|
|||
|
|
devices (but for adventurers this may seem normal). The insanity causes
|
|||
|
|
the character to be obsessed with the desire to kill. The desire must
|
|||
|
|
be fulfilled periodically. Once a week the character must make a
|
|||
|
|
successful Insanity check or go kill. If prevented from killing, the
|
|||
|
|
frustrated individual will become uncontrollably maniacal and attack
|
|||
|
|
the first person he encounters, widely seeking to slay. After a kill,
|
|||
|
|
the character will fall into a fit of melancholia (see insanity) for
|
|||
|
|
1d6 days before returning to a homicidal state once again.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Lunacy - The violent and often homicidal state occurs whenever the moon
|
|||
|
|
is full, or nearly full. The GM may allow the character to make a
|
|||
|
|
Sanity check on full moon nights to keep from flipping out. The
|
|||
|
|
character will generally behave as one in a maniacal state, with
|
|||
|
|
paranoid, hallucinatory, or homicidal tendencies. When the moon is
|
|||
|
|
absent or in its first or last quarters, the character will be
|
|||
|
|
melancholic. At other times, he will be relatively normal - perhaps a
|
|||
|
|
bit suspicious and irascible.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Mania - The character must make a Sanity check everyday. If he fails
|
|||
|
|
then he freaks for 2d6 turns. The character (roll 1d6) will become
|
|||
|
|
hysterical (1-2), enraged (3-4) or completely maniacal (5-6). The
|
|||
|
|
character will shriek, rave, and behave in a violent manner. His
|
|||
|
|
strength will increase by 2d2, dexterity by 1d2, and constitution by
|
|||
|
|
1d2. The maniac is unreasoning when spoken to, but he will posses great
|
|||
|
|
cunning. The afflicted will desire to avoid or to do something
|
|||
|
|
according, but not necessarily appropriate, to the situation at hand.
|
|||
|
|
When the maniacal state passes, the afflicted will not remember his
|
|||
|
|
insane actions and will not believe that he is insane.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Manic-Depressive Disorder - This alternating insanity form causes the
|
|||
|
|
afflicted to swing from one state to the other in 1 to 4 day intervals.
|
|||
|
|
When excited, the character must make a Sanity check. If he fails, he
|
|||
|
|
becomes maniacal (see mania insanity). When disssapointed or frustated
|
|||
|
|
the character must make a Sanity check. If he fails, he becomes
|
|||
|
|
melanchlic (see melancholia insanity). Thus in addition to the usualy
|
|||
|
|
1-4 day cycle of mainta-depression, he can jump from one state to the
|
|||
|
|
other depending on outside stimuli.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Melancholia - Similiar to dementia praecox, this malaody makes the
|
|||
|
|
afflicted giveen to black moods, fits of brooding, and feelings of
|
|||
|
|
hopelessness.. Everytime a siutation presents itself, the character
|
|||
|
|
must make a Sanity check or have a fit of melancholia.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Suicidal Mania - The character has overwhelming urges to destroy
|
|||
|
|
himself whenever means are presented - a perilous situation, a weapon,
|
|||
|
|
or anything else. The more dangerous the situation or item, the more
|
|||
|
|
likely the individual is to react self-destructively. Use a scale of
|
|||
|
|
10% to 80% probability, and if the afflicted does not react suicidally,
|
|||
|
|
then he will become melancholic for 1d6 days. If he is frustrated in
|
|||
|
|
suicidal attempts, then the character will become maniacal for 2d4
|
|||
|
|
turns, and then fall into melancholy for 2d6 days.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hebephrenia - The character will withdrawl from the real world. He will
|
|||
|
|
wander aimlessly, talk to himself, giggle and nutter, and act
|
|||
|
|
childishly - sometimes even reverting toi such a state as to disire to
|
|||
|
|
play childish games with others. This insanity is constant, but if
|
|||
|
|
suffciently irriated by somebodu nearby, the character is 75% likely to
|
|||
|
|
become enraged and maniacal, attackibng the offender fiercly. If the
|
|||
|
|
character does not not become so enraged, he will become catatonic for
|
|||
|
|
1d6 hours and then revert to hebephernic behavior once again.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Multiple Personality / Split Personality - Having multiple
|
|||
|
|
personalities is considered to be a mental illness which shows itself
|
|||
|
|
with the different attitudes of the person. This is especially
|
|||
|
|
dangerous to the balance of a game. Careful consideration is required
|
|||
|
|
on the GM's part. This insanity often manifests itself in mages and
|
|||
|
|
psionics, when mental strain is part of everyday life.
|
|||
|
|
Also this sanity manifests itself in a person who experiences
|
|||
|
|
severe and protracted trauma. During the experience the person
|
|||
|
|
dissociates during the trauma (like self-hypnosis, escape mentally if
|
|||
|
|
you can't escape physically). Now during this period of dissociation
|
|||
|
|
period an alter steps in and develops a memory -personality. For
|
|||
|
|
example, if Rock was captured during a raid and was tortured daily,
|
|||
|
|
when the torturer walks into to give Rock his daily beating, Rock
|
|||
|
|
disassociates and an alter steps in. It must also be noted that people
|
|||
|
|
with this illness can function perfectly normal in society or it can
|
|||
|
|
totally hinder their ability to function properly in society.
|
|||
|
|
"Host" or "core" refers to the real person, there is only one host
|
|||
|
|
personality. "Alter" refers to all other personalities present. There
|
|||
|
|
are two common personality types: the victim (the personalities of an
|
|||
|
|
abused person), the protector (the personalities keeps the host from
|
|||
|
|
acting on self-damaging behavior).
|
|||
|
|
The number of personalities the character depends of on the
|
|||
|
|
severity of what causes the insanity to manifest itself. If the cause
|
|||
|
|
was relatively mild, the character only gets one or two additional
|
|||
|
|
personalities. For very harsh, traumatic experiences, the character
|
|||
|
|
gains multiple personalities. A character can have no more than seven
|
|||
|
|
additional personalities.
|
|||
|
|
A personality takes complete control over the person's behavior.
|
|||
|
|
Therefore, only one personality can be in control at one time.
|
|||
|
|
Switching personalities can happen at completely random intervals.
|
|||
|
|
However, being in tense situations (like combat) can trigger a change
|
|||
|
|
to another personality. When a GM deems that the character is in such a
|
|||
|
|
situation, the character must make a Sanity check or switch to another
|
|||
|
|
personality.
|
|||
|
|
The transition from personality to personality is subtle and
|
|||
|
|
quick. Physical clues of transition are fluttering eye lids, eyes roll
|
|||
|
|
up in head, and/or a small head jerk (like a flinch when startled or
|
|||
|
|
suddenly coming out of a doze).
|
|||
|
|
A new personality can actually be of a different class and have
|
|||
|
|
different ability scores. For example, an insane fighter can enter
|
|||
|
|
combat, switch personalities, and begin casting spells because he now
|
|||
|
|
is a mage. On the same token, he could believe he is just a 10 year old
|
|||
|
|
girl (with an Intelligence to match).
|
|||
|
|
Another personality that may develop is one that already exists.
|
|||
|
|
That is, a personality of somebody else such as an adventuring comrade,
|
|||
|
|
a high official, etc..
|
|||
|
|
The GM should develop tables for a player to roll on to find out
|
|||
|
|
which personality is currently active. The GM may want to make certain
|
|||
|
|
personalities more popular than others.
|
|||
|
|
Co-consciousness is the phenomenon that allows the personalities
|
|||
|
|
to talk to each other. However not all personalities may be known of,
|
|||
|
|
this explains some of the bouts of amnesia that people with this
|
|||
|
|
insanity often report. After every personality switch, the character
|
|||
|
|
has a percentage chance equal to his Intelligence of becoming aware of
|
|||
|
|
one of the other personalities. When personalities meet (i.e. in the
|
|||
|
|
mind), the character becomes paralyzed for 1d6 hours, while both sides
|
|||
|
|
are trying to take control of his mind.
|
|||
|
|
The following list of symptoms are often found this insanity:
|
|||
|
|
depression, substance abuse, sleep disturbances, somatoform disorders,
|
|||
|
|
severe headaches, suicidal/self-mutalative, anxiety, intrusive
|
|||
|
|
images/flashbacks, amnesia/blank spells, auditory hallucinations.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Psychogenic Amnesia - The individual is unable to remember important
|
|||
|
|
facts of personal importance (details and experiences). There are three
|
|||
|
|
types of psychogenic amnesia:
|
|||
|
|
1) Localized amnesia (the most common) - The individual forgets
|
|||
|
|
all events during a specified time interval. This period usually
|
|||
|
|
follows a distressing event.
|
|||
|
|
2) Selective amnesia - A survivor of a flood may remember going to
|
|||
|
|
the hospital but not how he got there.
|
|||
|
|
3) Continuous amnesia - The person can't remember anything from a
|
|||
|
|
certain date to the present. For example, a war veteran may remember
|
|||
|
|
his childhood up to the point of going into the service, but has
|
|||
|
|
forgotten everything that has taken place after that.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Psychogenic Fugue - The person becomes confused about personal
|
|||
|
|
identity, and suddenly and unexpectedly travels to another place. The
|
|||
|
|
person may assume another identity. Once the fugue has passed the
|
|||
|
|
person can't recall what happened during the fugue. This is rare and
|
|||
|
|
often passes quickly.
|
|||
|
|
A variation could be that the character never recovers from the
|
|||
|
|
fugue and travels to a far off land only to join a certain party of
|
|||
|
|
characters. This could easily explain why the oriental is travelling
|
|||
|
|
with the Westerners.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Schizophrenia - This insanity manifests its effects in a personality
|
|||
|
|
loss. The afflicted has no personality of his own, so he will select a
|
|||
|
|
role model and make every attempt possible to become like that
|
|||
|
|
character. Selection will based upon as different a person as possible
|
|||
|
|
with regard to the insane character. Thus an insane mage will begin to
|
|||
|
|
follow the habits of a fighter, for example, dressing and speaking like
|
|||
|
|
that character and seeking to be like him in all ways.

PERSONALITY DISORDERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Avoidant Personality Disorder - The character with avoidant
|
|||
|
|
personality disorder refrains almost entirely from social encounters.
|
|||
|
|
He feels if he goes out he'll cause some catastrophic situation. He
|
|||
|
|
desires no relationships. He likes to be alone.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Dementia Praecox - The afflicted character will be quite uninterested
|
|||
|
|
in any undertaking when suffering from this form of madness. Nothing
|
|||
|
|
will seem worthwhile, and the individual will be continually filled
|
|||
|
|
with lassitude and a tremendous feeling of ennui. No matter how
|
|||
|
|
important the situation if the character fails a Sanity check, he is
|
|||
|
|
will choose to ignore it as meaningless to him.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Dependent Personality Disorder - The character is strongly attracted to
|
|||
|
|
others. He feels like he can't make the most simple decisions without
|
|||
|
|
others help. For example, Rock doesn't believe he can pick his clothes
|
|||
|
|
for the day without his mother's opinion.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Histrionic Personality Disorder - The character shows extreme emotions
|
|||
|
|
for the sole purpose of the effects it has on others and not expression
|
|||
|
|
of feelings. He also expects others to fulfill his expectations, but
|
|||
|
|
he has no concern for others. He resents people who are more beautiful,
|
|||
|
|
successful, etc.. The term comes from the Greek legend of Narcissus,
|
|||
|
|
who fell in love with his own reflection in the pond.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - The character is not like the
|
|||
|
|
obsessive-compulsive anxiety disorder, this character is a
|
|||
|
|
perfectionist. He concerns himself with schedules and is very
|
|||
|
|
methodical. For example, Rock will refuse to start a meeting until the
|
|||
|
|
exact second it was scheduled to meet.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Paranoid Personality Disorder - The character with this insanity is
|
|||
|
|
extremely suspicious and is always on guard against danger. It is
|
|||
|
|
impossible for him to trust others, and he always project blame on
|
|||
|
|
others.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Passive-Aggressive Personality Disorder - The character cannot express
|
|||
|
|
his anger appropriately. He is either conniving or very outward. Either
|
|||
|
|
way he expresses his anger in very spiteful ways.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Alignment Change - The character suffers a major alignment change. The
|
|||
|
|
GM can decided what the character's alignment becomes. Chaotic Neutral
|
|||
|
|
is typical of an insane person however a GM may wish the alignment to
|
|||
|
|
be completely opposite of the character's original alignment.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Delusion Granduer - The character has grossly exaggerated conception of
|
|||
|
|
the individual's importance. He is convince that he is a famous figure
|
|||
|
|
such as a monarch, deity, or similiar personage. Those who "fail" to
|
|||
|
|
recognize the afflicted as such will incur great hostility. In normal
|
|||
|
|
affairs, the character will seem quite sane, but he will act approrate
|
|||
|
|
to a station which he does not actually have and tend to order arounf
|
|||
|
|
actual and imagenery creatures, drawe upon monies and items which do
|
|||
|
|
not exist, and so on.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Delusion Infidelity - The character has a false belief usually
|
|||
|
|
associated with pathological jealousy. The belief that spouse or lover

|||
|
|
is unfaithful with no reason or evidence.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Delusion Nihilism - The character has the feeling that one's self,
|
|||
|
|
others, or the world is nonexistent. Commonly feelings of unreality or
|
|||
|
|
the feeling that one is in a dream.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Delusion Persecution - The character has the belief that another person
|
|||
|
|
or persons are trying to inflict harm on the individual or his family.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Delusion Poverty - The character has the belief that the he has no
|
|||
|
|
material possessions of value. When confronted with the real value he
|
|||
|
|
may say that it's not his or insist on its worthlessness.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Delusion Reference - The character has the belief that the actions of
|
|||
|
|
others is somehow personal references to him. For example, the nobleman
|
|||
|
|
goes to opera and believes the opera is telling the story of his life.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Delusion Self-Blame - The character has the feelings of remorse without
|
|||
|
|
justification. For example, a man may feel responsible for a famine
|
|||
|
|
because of some sin he committed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Delusion Somatic - These delusions are much more psychotic than the
|
|||
|
|
somatoforms to be discussed! Inappropriate concerns about one's own
|
|||
|
|
body typically relating to some disease. Without justification a person
|
|||
|
|
may feel his liver is missing, or ants have invaded his brain.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Delusion Thought Broadcasting - The character has the ideas that his
|
|||
|
|
thoughts are being broadcast to others. For example, a man believes
|
|||
|
|
everyone in the room can hear what he's thinking.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Delusion Thought Insertion - The character has the belief that thoughts
|
|||
|
|
are being inserted into his mind by outside forces.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Delusion Thought Withdrawal - The character has the belief that
|
|||
|
|
thoughts are being extracted from his mind.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hallucinatory Disorder - The character sees, hears, aqnd otherwise
|
|||
|
|
senses things which do not exist. The more exciteding or stressful the
|
|||
|
|
siutation, the more likely the indivudual is to hallucinate. When in
|
|||
|
|
such a situation, the character must make a succsfdul Sanity check or
|
|||
|
|
halluncinate. Commion halluinations are: ordinary objects, which do not
|
|||
|
|
exist, people nrearby or passing when there are none, voices giving the
|
|||
|
|
character information ot insttructions, abilities or form which the
|
|||
|
|
character does not really have (strength, sex, wings, etc.),
|
|||
|
|
threatening creatures appearing from nowhere, etc.. Unless stimulated
|
|||
|
|
or under stress, the character acts normal. Hallunicnations will then
|
|||
|
|
commence and continue for 1d20 turns after the excitment/sstress
|
|||
|
|
passes.
|
|||
|
|
This malody is often confused with some great ability to see into
|
|||
|
|
the ethereal plane.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Induced Psychotic Disorder - A person develops the disorder by being in
|
|||
|
|
close relationship to a psychotic person. That means if the character
|
|||
|
|
knows someone who is psychotic, chances are he'll develop that same
|
|||
|
|
psychosis.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Megalomania - With this insanity, the insane character will be
|
|||
|
|
absolutely convinced that he is the best at everything: the smartest,
|
|||
|
|
wisest, strongest, fastest, handsomest, and most powerful character of
|
|||
|
|
his profession. The character will take immediate umbrage at any
|
|||
|
|
suggestion to the contrary, and he will demand the right to lead,
|
|||
|
|
perform any important act, make all decisions, etc..
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SELF CONTROL DISORDERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Dipsomania - This mild insanity form manifests itself periodically.
|
|||
|
|
About once per week, or whenever near large quantities of alcoholic
|
|||
|
|
beverages, the afflicted will begin drinking excessive quantities of
|
|||
|
|
ale, beer, wine, or like spirituous liquors. The player questions the
|
|||
|
|
GMs decision, the GM should require an Sanity check. Such drinking
|
|||
|
|
will continue until the character passes out. It is 50% likely that the
|
|||
|
|
dipsomania will continue when he/she awakens if anywhere near alcohol,
|
|||
|
|
10% likely otherwise (in which case the individual will seek to find
|
|||
|
|
drink and become violent if denied).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Kleptomania - This mild insanity manifests itesslef in an ardent diser,
|
|||
|
|
in this case an uncontrollable urge to steal ant small objects
|
|||
|
|
avaiable. Kleptomaniacs steal things not on a whim or out of economic
|
|||
|
|
need, but persistent urges to steal. The targets can be the market,
|
|||
|
|
work, or people. It is not the value of the object that matters. There
|
|||
|
|
is usually a lack of interest in the stolen item after its stolen. Once
|
|||
|
|
a day, the character must make a Sanity check. If he fails, he must
|
|||
|
|
steal something. There is a 90% proabalbity of being seen stealing (if
|
|||
|
|
the character isn't a thief) if the character is being observed.
|
|||
|
|
Some GMs may require the character to become a thief and drop the
|
|||
|
|
current class. Kleptomaniac thieves have a -10% on their staeling
|
|||
|
|
ability due to the overpowerinhg urge to immedialtely steal an item.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Monomania - The character will seem absolutely normal until presented
|
|||
|
|
with an idea, goal, or similar project which seems promising or
|
|||
|
|
purposeful to him. As of then, the character will become obsessed with
|
|||
|
|
the accomplishment of the purpose. He will think of nothing else, talk
|
|||
|
|
of nothing else, plan and act to accomplish nothing save the fixed end.
|
|||
|
|
The character will brook swerving from any friend or associate, and he
|
|||
|
|
will insist that such individuals serve the "cause" with the same the
|
|||
|
|
dame devotion that the afflicted shows. Hostility and violence could
|
|||
|
|
result, and certainly not a little suspicion and mistrust if co-
|
|||
|
|
operation is not inherit. Once the desired end has been accomplished,
|
|||
|
|
the insane character will manifest symptoms of dementia praecox.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Pyromania - Fire fascinates many people, but it fascinates no one more
|
|||
|
|
than a pyromaniac. He has a compulsive urge to set fires deliberately.
|
|||
|
|
He often enjoys watching his fires, too. Motivation is not criminal or
|
|||
|
|
financial. Once a day, the character must make a Sanity check. If he
|
|||
|
|
fails, he must set fire to something. The bigger the fire, the better
|
|||
|
|
he feels.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Pathological Gambling - A person with this disorder may lie, cheat,
|
|||
|
|
steal in order to fuel his habit. The person is driven to the big win
|
|||
|
|
and believes he can make up the losses easily. Whenever a character is
|
|||
|
|
near a gambling situation or can make such a situation, he must make an
|
|||
|
|
Sanity check. If he fails, he must gamble.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Pathological Liar - A person with this insanity makes outrageous
|
|||
|
|
statements regarding his abilities, possessions, experiences, or
|
|||
|
|
events. Whenever anything important or meaningful is discussed or in
|
|||
|
|
question, the character can not tell the truth, and not only will he
|
|||
|
|
lie, but do so with the utmost conviction, absolutely convinced that
|
|||
|
|
the prevarication is truth. "Yeah, that's the ticket..."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sado-Masochism - This insanity is coupled with maniacal urges and
|
|||
|
|
behavior. The character is equally likely to be in a sadistic or
|
|||
|
|
masochistic phase. When sadistic, the victim of this insanity has a
|
|||
|
|
desire to physically hurt and (and probably kill) living things. When
|
|||
|
|
masochistic, the victim of this insanity has a desire to be physically
|
|||
|
|
hurt. Normalcy returns for 1 to 3 days. Note that friends and
|
|||
|
|
associates do not matter to the afflicted individual, nor do enemies.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Trichotillomania - Trichotillomaniacs have the urge to pull out their
|
|||
|
|
hair. People become so obsessed with removing body hair they fail to
|
|||
|
|
realize they are marring their appearance by giving themselves bald
|
|||
|
|
spots, or removing their eyebrows. These people often times suffer from
|
|||
|
|
anxiety disorders and are potential substance abusers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Intermittent Explosive Disorder - These people are unable to hold back
|
|||
|
|
urges of rage brought on by no apparent reason. They are very
|
|||
|
|
aggressive and destructive.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SEXUAL DISORDERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Bitchamania - This insanity can only manifest itself within females.
|
|||
|
|
Males should reroll for another insanity. Females with this insanity
|
|||
|
|
suffer the effects of The Bitch Rule.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Coprophilia - This bizarre insanity causes the character to have an
|
|||
|
|
uncontrollable desire to eat the lees (the sediment of a liquid) of the
|
|||
|
|
sexual partner. If the partner is diseased (hopefully a sexual one),
|
|||
|
|
then the insane person's chance of contacting the disease is doubled
|
|||
|
|
and should be checked after each feast.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Exhibitionism - This insanity causes the victim to have a fascination
|
|||
|
|
of being observed while nude or having sex. The more who witness the
|
|||
|
|
person the better. The person must exhibit himself/herself a minimum of
|
|||
|
|
1d10+4 times a week. A few examples are to have sex in a public places,
|
|||
|
|
flash people, streak, etc..
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Fetishism - The victim has a fascination and desire to have sex only if
|
|||
|
|
a specific object is in his/her possession or if possible the object is
|
|||
|
|
used in the act (like rods, rings, balls).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Foulmouthia - The victim has an uncontrollable desire to say something
|
|||
|
|
perverse when he/she sees somebody of the opposite sex. When the victim
|
|||
|
|
sees such a person, he/she must make a Wisdom check with a -3 modifier.
|
|||
|
|
Failure and the victim says something profane. If the player can't
|
|||
|
|
think of anything, he/she can roll on the Sexist Quotes table found
|
|||
|
|
later in this guide.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Geroniophilla - This insanity causes the character to strongly desire
|
|||
|
|
sex with older people (a minimum of 1d4 times per week). The older
|
|||
|
|
person must be at least be twice the character's age and is 50% of the
|
|||
|
|
time a three times the character's age (if possible).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Innecrophilia - This insanity causes the character to have an obsessive
|
|||
|
|
fascination with the undead. This obsession extends to the point of
|
|||
|
|
engaging in sexual intercourse with undead creatures when the
|
|||
|
|
opportunity arises. When coming across undead the afflicted character
|
|||
|
|
is 75% likely not to cause harm to the undead. Furthermore, he/she is
|
|||
|
|
50% likely to rape unintelligent undead or seduce (to the point of
|
|||
|
|
begging) intelligent undead. The GM and players can see the dangers of
|
|||
|
|
a character desiring the likes of a vampire.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Masochism - This insanity causes the character to like to be hurt by
|
|||
|
|
the partner (normally a sadistic one), using the same ways as the
|
|||
|
|
sadism. In other words, he/she likes to be on the receiving end of
|
|||
|
|
physical pain during sexual encounters.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Mirusmania - This insanity causes the victim to desire to have weird
|
|||
|
|
sex (although some characters may already do weird things). Some
|
|||
|
|
examples are during fly, jump spells; while polymorphed or ethereal; in
|
|||
|
|
strange places like a dungeon, temple, tree; under the influence of
|
|||
|
|
transmute flesh to spells. The GM and player should flesh out this
|
|||
|
|
insanity for good role-playing purposes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Necrophilia - This insanity causes the character to have an obsessive
|
|||
|
|
fascination with death and corpses. This obsession extends to the point
|
|||
|
|
of engaging in sexual intercourse with a corpse. The afflicted
|
|||
|
|
character is 50% likely to attempt a sexual act with a corpse of the
|
|||
|
|
opposite sex when such an opportunity arises. Thus, a character
|
|||
|
|
adventuring in catacombs may sneak away from the party for a quick
|
|||
|
|
interlude with the dead. This insanity could reach a point where the
|
|||
|
|
character keeps a supply of dead handy to serve his/her purposes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Nymphomania - Sex! Sex! Sex! This insanity manifests itself in an
|
|||
|
|
ardent desire, in this case an uncontrollable urge to have sex (lots of
|
|||
|
|
sex). The afflicted will furtively attempt to seduce a person of the
|
|||
|
|
opposite sex, whenever the opportunity presents itself, and he/she will
|
|||
|
|
usually seek out such opportunities. The afflicted must have sex a
|
|||
|
|
minimum of 1d10+10 times per week. Not getting the minimum weekly
|
|||
|
|
requirement causes the person to gain an accumulative +1 to
|
|||
|
|
constitution, but lose an accumulative -1 to intelligence and an
|
|||
|
|
accumulative -1 to wisdom until relief presents itself. Other problems
|
|||
|
|
could be continuous dissatisfaction, inability to prioritize, egotistic
|
|||
|
|
view that everyone wants it, patronizing view that all need to be
|
|||
|
|
defiled by sex because they are naturally evil, or that he/she is doing
|
|||
|
|
people a "favor". He/she will not go to the extent of rape or
|
|||
|
|
molesting, but hiring prostitutes is not above the insanity.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Pedophilia - This insanity causes the character to strongly desire sex
|
|||
|
|
with younger people (a minimum of 1d4 times per week). The younger
|
|||
|
|
person must be at least be half the character's age and is 50% of the
|
|||
|
|
time a fourth of the character's age. Of course this insanity can
|
|||
|
|
cause a lot of trouble with governmental laws on statutory rape.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Periculuphilia - This strange insanity causes the inflicted to have a
|
|||
|
|
desire for sex only in dangerous situations and places. When in such a
|
|||
|
|
situation, the character is 50% likely to go into a sexual frenzy in
|
|||
|
|
which he/she must have sex immediately, preferably with a close sexual
|
|||
|
|
partner. Thus, a character will usually have such a partner along with
|
|||
|
|
him/her when adventuring. Note the afflicted must have this dangerous
|
|||
|
|
sex a minimum of 1d4+1 times per week. Not getting the minimum weekly
|
|||
|
|
requirement causes the person to gain an accumulative +1 to
|
|||
|
|
constitution, but lose an accumulative -1 to intelligence and an
|
|||
|
|
accumulative -1 to wisdom until relief presents itself. Some examples
|
|||
|
|
of dangerous situations and places would be when he/she is surrounded
|
|||
|
|
by a few dragons, in front of a angry lich, or maybe in any battle
|
|||
|
|
he/she is involved in.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Pigmalionism - This insanity causes the character to have an obsessive
|
|||
|
|
fascination with statues because they are cold, have hard muscles, nice
|
|||
|
|
form, unemotional, etc.. This obsession extends to the point of
|
|||
|
|
engaging in sexual intercourse with a statue (if physically possible).
|
|||
|
|
The afflicted character is 50% likely to attempt a sexual act with a
|
|||
|
|
statue when such an opportunity arises. Thus, a character adventuring
|
|||
|
|
in temple may sneak away from the party for a quick interlude with the
|
|||
|
|
a lovely statue. This insanity could reach a point where the character
|
|||
|
|
collects statues to serve his/her purposes. The ideal partner would be
|
|||
|
|
a golem or enchanted statue.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sadism - The victim of this insanity has a desire to physically hurt
|
|||
|
|
the person which he/she is having sex with. This attack can be done by
|
|||
|
|
various strange ways like whipping, kicking, chaining the partner,
|
|||
|
|
etc.. This insanity could reach a point where the character, under a
|
|||
|
|
orgasm, kills the engaged person.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Unus-????mania - This insanity manifests itself in an ardent desire and
|
|||
|
|
obsession, in this case an uncontrollable urge to have sex with a
|
|||
|
|
particular type of creature. The afflicted will furtively attempt to
|
|||

opportunities. He/she will not desire to have sex with any other, even

has sex with such a creature, he/she likes the creature to do weird

things relative to the creature's abilities and talents (see example

Example: A person with unus-sacerdosmania insanity will have a desire
|
|||
|
|
to have sex with clerics. When having sex with cleric, he/she might
|
|||
|
|
want the cleric to pray. A person with unus-pugnamania will only have
|
|||
|
|
sex with fighters and might want the fighter to punch, scratch, and
|
|||
|
|
wrestle during sex. A person with unus-vatesmania will only have sex
|
|||
|
|
with bards and might want the bard to sing during sex.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Uridpsomania - This bizarre insanity causes the character to have the
|
|||
|
|
desire to drink the urine of his/her partner. Check for an unhealthy
|
|||
|
|
disease each time he/she drinks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Voyeurism - The person affected by this insanity only has pleasure from
|
|||
|
|
observing the other's sexual organs or people having sex, especially in
|
|||
|
|
secret.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zoophilia - This insanity manifests itself in an ardent desire and
|
|||
|
|
obsession, in this case an uncontrollable urge to have sex with a
|
|||
|
|
particular type of normal animal. The afflicted will furtively attempt
|
|||
|
|
to seduce this type of animal (still of the opposite sex), whenever the
|
|||
|
|
opportunity presents itself, and he/she will usually seek out such
|
|||

SLEEP DISORDERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Dyssomnias are sleep disturbances interfere with quantity and
|
|||
|
|
quality of sleep. Parasomnias make up nightmares, wake-ups of
|
|||
|
|
screaming, and sleep walkings which is most common in children. The
|
|||
|
|
character experiences a sleep disorder every night.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Dream Anxiety Disorder - The character experiences nightmares on a
|
|||
|
|
repeated basis. The dreams are very distressing. An adventurer can have
|
|||
|
|
some real nasty ones.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hypersomnia - This is when the character never feels rested. He often
|
|||
|
|
has problems getting up in the morning.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Insomnia - This is the chronic inability to get sleep. The character
|
|||
|
|
may have difficulty falling asleep. He may wake up frequently or have a
|
|||
|
|
full night's sleep but not be rested.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sleep-Schedule Disorder - is basically "jet lag" in a chronic course.
|
|||
|
|
There is a mismatch between body sleep rhythms and the demands of their
|
|||
|
|
environment.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sleep Terror Disorder - The person wakes up suddenly and in pain from a
|
|||
|
|
sound sleep. There are physical and psychological conditions involved.
|
|||
|
|
The physical conditions include sweating, increased heart rate, and
|
|||
|
|
gasping for breath. The person is hard to calm and is often confused or
|
|||
|
|
disoriented. Most people do not remember night terrors.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sleepwalking Disorder - The person is unresponsive to others and their
|
|||
|
|
attempts to awaken him. He does not remember sleep walking.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SOMATOFORM DISORDERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Somatoform disorders involve psychological conflicts transferred
|
|||
|
|
into physical conditions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Body Dysmorphic Disorder - The character feels his body is defective or
|
|||
|
|
ugly. This is similar to the somatic delusion, but is not quite as
|
|||
|
|
psychotic.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hypocondriasis - The character feels that he has a serious illness or
|
|||
|
|
disease, when he is experiencing normal bodily functions. This is
|
|||
|
|
different from conversion disorder because he does not have
|
|||
|
|
unexplainable medical symptoms, and he does not experience la belle
|
|||
|
|
indifference. No amount of reassurance will relieve him of his fears.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hysterical Neurosis / Conversion Disorder -This disorder involves the
|
|||
|
|
translation of unacceptable drives or troubling conflicts into physical
|
|||
|
|
symptoms. The person is not intentionally producing the symptoms.
|
|||
|
|
However a medical basis for symptoms cannot be found, and it is assumed
|
|||
|
|
that the person is converting psychological conflicts or need into a
|
|||
|
|
physical problem.
|
|||
|
|
Once the psychological problem passes to the physical side, it is
|
|||
|
|
no longer a source of mental stress for the person. This is called la
|
|||
|
|
belle indifference or "beautiful lack of concern". They often dismiss
|
|||
|
|
it, even if it's incapacitating. For example, before the big game the
|
|||
|
|
quarterback's hand becomes paralyzed.
|
|||
|
|
Conversion disorders fall into four categories: motor disturbances
|
|||
|
|
(tremors, paralysis), sensory disturbances (hearing loss, tunnel
|
|||
|
|
vision), symptoms simulating physical illness (involve conversions that
|
|||
|
|
mimic the actual symptoms of a physical illness), symptoms complicating
|
|||
|
|
physical illness (complicate or delay physical recovery from a physical
|
|||
|
|
disorder).

PHOBIAS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A phobia is an intense, abnormal, or illogical fear of something.
|
|||
|
|
Almost everybody has things that they are afraid of to one degree or
|
|||
|
|
another. Even great adventurers can have a intense fear of something.
|
|||
|
|
The number of phobias a character has is dependant of his Sanity
|
|||
|
|
attribute. If his Sanity score changes, so will the number of phobias.
|
|||
|
|
This is the base number of phobias a character will always have. He may
|
|||
|
|
gain additional phobias as an insanity during his adventuring career.
|
|||
|
|
The first step is to determine what class of phobia the character
|
|||
|
|
has. This is done by rolling 1d100 and comparing the result to the
|
|||
|
|
Phobia Class Table.
|
|||
|
|
The second step is to determine the exact nature of the phobia.
|
|||
|
|
Roll on the appropriate phobia class table to get the phobia the
|
|||
|
|
character has.
|
|||
|
|
If the GM wishes to add more phobias to the list, he should get a
|
|||
|
|
Latin-English dictionary. Then he should look up the word he wants for
|
|||
|
|
a phobia, get the Latin translation, and add phobia to the end of the
|
|||
|
|
word.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sexual Phobias
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If played properly, these phobias can give character a good amount
|
|||
|
|
of extra depth, however, played incorrectly can be disastrous. There
|
|||
|
|
are two tables for this section, Male and Female. If the character is
|
|||
|
|
homosexual or bisexual, then go to the appropriate sex 90% of the time
|
|||
|
|
and the opposite sex of the character the remaining 10% of the time. If
|
|||
|
|
a character rolls an impossibility (a male rolls a strictly female
|
|||
|
|
phobia), then reroll on the table appropriate to the character's sex.

SO YOUR INSANE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Whenever a character is insane, he has other problems besides
|
|||
|
|
his insanity. He suffers from a few minor problems as well.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Distraction: Small pieces of conversation make the character go
|
|||
|
|
off on humerous (but somewhat annoying) sidetracks. For example, "Fish?
|
|||
|
|
I like fish, fish boiled, fish fried, fish grilled with a spicy sauce,
|
|||
|
|
fish soup, fish for breakfast, fish for lnuch, fish for snacks..."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Relationship mistakes: The character has a percentage chance equal
|
|||
|
|
to his Sanity attrbute to permanently alienate someone due to strange
|
|||
|
|
behavior or unpredictable bad attitude.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Mages
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Magical wild spurts: The insane mage has a chance for a spell to
|
|||
|
|
become slightly twisted when cast. The GM determines the effect but the
|
|||
|
|
more bizzare the better. For example, the mage casts magic missiles but
|
|||
|
|
instead shoots forth magic flowers. The GM should not necessarily
|
|||
|
|
penalize the character. The bizzare effects can be beneficial (but
|
|||
|
|
still strange).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Clerics
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Prayer misunderstandings: If an insane cleirc tries a prayer,
|
|||
|
|
there is a percent chance equal to 10 times the character's Insanity
|
|||
|
|
attribute of the cleric's deity not answering the request for spells.
|
|||
|
|
There is an equal percent chance the the call will be answered by the
|
|||
|
|
diety of insanity. The deity of insanity doesn't exactly give the
|
|||
|
|
cleric the spells he wants.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Psionicists
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Freaky Powers: When using psionic powers a natural roll of 20
|
|||
|
|
usually indicates additional powers. For an insane psionicist, a roll
|
|||
|
|
of 18, 19, or 20 will have this effect.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Wild Talents: The psionicist gains a wild talent outside of his
|
|||
|
|
psionic devotion. Although this may seem beneficial to a psionicist, it
|
|||
|
|
tends to be more unnerving gaining freakish wild abilities of the mind.

|
|
The spell creates an alter ego of the person. The duplicate will
|
|||
|
|
take on the schizoid-ego of the caster. The duplicate can perform any
|
|||
|
|
action that the mage can including spell-casting and combat. The mage
|
|||
|
|
can communicate via telepath with the duplicate. The image does not
|
|||
|
|
have to be within the mage's view to continue to exist.
|
|||
|
|
The duplicate can cast the spells that the mage has memorized. Of
|
|||
|
|
course the mage loses the spells then. However each can cast spells
|
|||
|
|
independent of each other.
|
|||
|
|
The major power of the duplicate is that he can destroy the life
|
|||
|
|
force of a living being within spell range by willing it. The victim
|
|||
|
|
gets a save vs. death. Success and he suffers 3d6 points of damage.
|
|||
|
|
Failure and he dies.
|
|||
|
|
There is a few side effects to this power. First, the mage cannot
|
|||
|
|
control if the duplicate will use it. The mage can only point out his
|
|||
|
|
enemies to the duplicate. Secondly, when the duplicate uses the
|
|||
|
|
ability, the mage must make a Sanity check. If he fails, the spell
|
|||
|
|
ends, he goes insane and becomes his Schizophrenia alter ego.
|
|||
|
|
Schizophrenia projected image requires the material component of a
|
|||
|
|
clay image of the mage that must be torn in two pieces.

One form of insanity is the Multiple Personality / Split
|
|||
|
|
Personality Dissociative Disorder. A person with this inasanity has
|
|||
|
|
individual and distinct personalities within. This spell serpeates the
|
|||
|
|
multiple personalities and puts each one into an actual physical body.
|
|||
|
|
Thus, if the spell is cast on a insane person with three personalities
|
|||
|
|
(including his normal one), two physical bodies contain two two of the
|
|||
|
|
personalties will manifest.
|
|||
|
|
A new personalty will not necessarily get a physcial body
|
|||
|
|
identical to the insane victim. The new body tends to reflect the
|
|||
|
|
personality.For example, if one of the persnoalities is that of a 12-
|
|||
|
|
year old girl, then a 12-year old girl is where the personality will
|
|||
|
|
reside now.
|
|||
|
|
Each personality gets a save. If it fails, the personality remians
|
|||
|
|
in the insane person. If succseful, the personlaity gets a new physical
|
|||
|
|
body.

VECORS
|
|||
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Portfolio: Insanity, mental illness
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Vecors is the deity of insanity. Not really one of the most widely
|
|||
|
|
known of the deities and certainly not one of the powerful ones.
|
|||
|
|
However, Vecors does have a place and a small following. Crazy, wacky,
|
|||
|
|
goofy, zany, nutty, and bonkers are but a few words to describe Vecors.
|
|||
|
|
Vecors' mother is the deity of wisdom. Vecors' father is the deity
|
|||
|
|
of ill fortune, freaks, etc.. Vecors is certainly has ill fortune in
|
|||
|
|
the metal category. Vecors' older brother is the deity of mental
|
|||
|
|
ability, mental prowess, psionic talent, etc.. His older brother has a
|
|||
|
|
different father (the deity of knowledge).
|
|||
|
|
Vecors has the ability to cause insanity in any being with an
|
|||
|
|
Intelligence less than 19.
|
|||
|
|
Vecors takes many forms. When mingling with the mortals, he takes
|
|||
|
|
the form of human/demi-human/humanoid races. Although he favors being a
|
|||
|
|
male, he has no problem being female when the mood hits him (and he
|
|||
|
|
goes through lots of moods). He pretty much runs the spectrum, always
|
|||
|
|
trying something crazy.
|
|||
|
|
When Vecors presents himself as a "god", he appears as a gigantic
|
|||
|
|
Gibbering Mouther (a disgusting amoeboid-like form of life composed of
|
|||
|
|
mouths, and eyes). His spittle attack will blind victims for 1d4 rounds
|
|||
|
|
(no save). His gibbering attack instantly cause confusion as the spell
|
|||
|
|
and if a save vs. magic is failed, the victim becomes insane. He can
|
|||
|
|
only be harmed by +3 or better weapons. He also regenerates 5 hit
|
|||
|
|
points per round in this form.
|
|||
|
|
There are two orders of priesthood under Vecors, each with its own
|
|||
|
|
abilities. The first order is called The Insane of Vecors. The second
|
|||
|
|
order is called The Keepers of the Insane.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1ST ORDER OF VECORS: THE INSANE OF VECORS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This order is comprised of insane priests who worship an insane
|
|||
|
|
deity and love all aspects of insanity. Priests of this order become
|
|||
|
|
priest of Vecors typically by default. When a priest becomes insane, he
|
|||
|
|
is often not granted spells by his deity because of his new condition.
|
|||
|
|
In other words, his deity forgets him because he is insane. Vecors
|
|||
|
|
answers the prayers of the forgotten, insane priest and the priest
|
|||
|
|
converts to Vecors priesthood.
|
|||
|
|
Often members of The Insane of Vecors that are inflicted with the
|
|||
|
|
same insanity tend to form their own division. For example, insane
|
|||
|
|
priests inflicted with Arachnophobia (fear of spiders) might form a
|
|||
|
|
division of their order where they can set their own agenda (namely rid
|
|||
|
|
the world of spiders). Another division can be comprised of Schizoid
|
|||
|
|
priests; a scary thought.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Nonweapon Skills: The priest has no penalty when taking a rogue skill.
|
|||
|
|
Recommended: Any that displays somewhat quirky behavior like juggling,
|
|||
|
|
tumbling, ventiloquism, dancing (ex. square dancing, waltzing),
|
|||
|
|
artistic ability (ex. graffati, manure sculpting).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Weapon Skills: Any. The weapon of choice tends to be stange. In fact,
|
|||
|
|
the stranger the better. Examples: table leg, sack of marbles, wet
|
|||
|
|
towel (snap it), football, dead fish, peanut shooter, pole-arm (let's
|
|||
|
|
face it, what sane person uses a pole-arm).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Armor Restrictions: No armor (its so constricting like a straitjacket).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Duties of the Priest: Devotions (consists of gibbering), Missions,
|
|||
|
|
Omen-Reading.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Spheres of Influence: Priest get any two major spheres of influence and
|
|||
|
|
any one sphere of influence.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Powers & Benefits:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- The priest can never be cured of his insanities.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- While in a straitjacket, once per round the character can make a
|
|||
|
|
Dexterity check and if successful he escapes straitjacket.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- At each level, the character gets a 10%/level of gaining an
|
|||
|
|
"imaginary, invisible friend". For example, the character just reached
|
|||
|
|
5th level so he has a 50% of gaining a friend; at 6th level he gets a
|
|||
|
|
60% chance. The "friend" should be is a loyal henchman (no checks for
|
|||
|
|
moral). The GM must create the "friend", but the player should have
|
|||
|
|
input as long as it is in the spirit of role-playing and not monty-
|
|||
|
|
haulism. The "friend" has no physical being and cannot perform anything
|
|||
|
|
physical such as lifting, moving, pushing, etc.. He can see, hear, and
|
|||
|
|
smell but not taste. Also, the "friend" doesn't always hang around the
|
|||
|
|
character but will be there when he is needed. He may not always be the
|
|||
|
|
most helpful friend so a character shouldn't try to take advantage of
|
|||
|
|
his "friend".
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- At 3rd level, the priest can sink into a meditative trance to receive
|
|||
|
|
a prophecy of the future. The trance lasts a minimum of 6 turns. If the
|
|||
|
|
GM wishes, the priest has a vision. The GM may also allow the priest to
|
|||
|
|
have a vision without the need of a trance.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- At 5th level, the priest is unaffected by enchantment/charm spells.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- At 9th level, the priest becomes immune to psionic powers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- At 12th level, the priest sees things as they really are. His sight
|
|||
|
|
penetrates magical darkness; invisible things become visible; illusions
|
|||
|
|
and apparitions are seen through; polymorphed, changed, or enchanted
|
|||
|
|
objects are apparent; and ethereal objects are visible.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Limitations & Hindrances:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- The priest cannot turn undead.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- At 9th level, the priest loses all psionic abilities.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Alignment: The deity is chaotic neutral, the alignment of the truly
|
|||
|
|
insane. The priests of this order must be chaotic neutral. Those that
|
|||
|
|
weren't chaotic neutral, will suffer a traumatic alignment shift to
|
|||
|
|
become chaotic neutral.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Minimum Ability Scores: Sanity 1. Sanity below 4 means a +10% to
|
|||
|
|
experience.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Races Allowed: Any.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2ND ORDER OF VECORS: THE KEEPERS OF THE INSANE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This order is comprised of specialty priests whose duty is to
|
|||
|
|
treat and/or take care of the mentally ill. Ironically, Vecors is the
|
|||
|
|
deity of insanity and takes comfort in a multitude of insane people and
|
|||
|
|
yet he has an order of priests where insanity is considered as a
|
|||
|
|
disease that should be cured if possible. Its totally insane. Of
|
|||
|
|
course, maybe that is the point.
|
|||
|
|
A priest of the order is often found dressed in a three-piece suit
|
|||
|
|
or a white lab coat.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Nonweapon Skills: Bonus: Herbalism, Reading/Writing. Recommended: Any
|
|||
|
|
that will assist in helping insane people particulary medical realted
|
|||
|
|
skills.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Weapon Skills: No slashing weapons allowed. Club, lasso, and net
|
|||
|
|
preferred.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Armor Restrictions: No armor. The priest prefers clinical robes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Duties of the Priest: Devotions, Guidance, Missions, Healing.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Spheres of Influence: MAJOR: All, Guardian, Healing, Protection. MINOR:
|
|||
|
|
Necromantic.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Powers & Benefits:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- The priest has knowledge of a sage in respects to Psychology,
|
|||
|
|
although this term may be to "modern" for a fanasty world. It is
|
|||
|
|
recommended that the knowledge should be more exotic and less try. For
|
|||
|
|
example: the bumps on a person's head, the map of the brain, mind-
|
|||
|
|
affecting drugs, psycholgical tests (ink blots, etc.),
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- At 5th level, the priest gains the ability to cause fear.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- At 7th level, the priest has the ability to reverse the effects of
|
|||
|
|
fear.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Limitations & Hindrances:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

Followers and Strongholds: Priests of the 1st order gain no stronghold
|

|
|
but can attract 11-20 followers. With these followers, the priest can
|
|||
|
|
form a cult of sorts. Typically, the group has no substance and it is
|
|||
|
|
typically viewd as harmess more than dangerous.
|

|
A priest of the 2nd order at 9th level receives the following
|
|||
|
|
followers: 3 fourth level priests, 4 second level priests, 6 first

level priests, 10 clerics, and 11-20 normal followers. At this time,
|
|||
|
|
the priest can construct a Sanitarium of Vecors. The priest pays half
|
|||
|
|
the cost of construction. The temple is a holy place for worship of
|
|||
|
|
Vecors and for the research and treatment of the insane.

Holidays, Festivals, Special Occasions:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Fools Day - This holiday is for one and is on the 1st day of the
|
|||
|
|
first-quarter month of the year. If there are 12 months in the year,
|
|||
|
|
then Fools Day is on the fourth month.
|
|||
|
|
On this day all insanities that people have go into effect.
|
|||
|
|
Dormant insanities go into full operation. If a person is slowly on the
|
|||
|
|
road to recover from insanity, on this day he will regress. After the
|
|||
|
|
holiday, he will be to where he was the day before.
|
|||
|
|
Priests and worshippers of the 2nd order, spend the day in
|
|||
|
|
worship of Vecors praying for those that are insane.
|
|||
|
|
For sane people, this day is spent in humor, merriment, and most
|
|||
|
|
importantly practical jokes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Insaplebs Festival - The festival of insane people is a week long
|
|||
|
|
celebration but the date of the festival it varies. If a person enters
|
|||
|
|
a town and finds a few insane people, each insane person can tell him
|
|||
|
|
when the festival begins. If that person enters another town, the
|
|||
|
|
festival date has changed but each insane person in that town knows it.
|
|||
|
|
Its odd, but that's how it works.
|
|||
|
|
During this festival, everybody is encouraged to act on every
|
|||
|
|
crazy whim they have. It is a chaotic affair of merriment. Those that
|
|||
|
|
aren't insane try to simulate insanity through the use of alcohol.
|
|||
|
|
This festival is often a problem for law enforcement agencies and
|
|||
|
|
they tend to keep things in order.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Night of the Full Moon - The night of the full moon is
|
|||
|
|
considered a special occasion for those that worship Vecors. Although
|
|||
|
|
the night isn't an official holiday, it is considered a time for
|
|||
|
|
enjoyment. Priests and worshippers have small parties.

Gibberlings are pale, hunched humanoids with short legs and
|
|||
|
|
long arms. When together, gibberlings are the most annoying creatures
|
|||
|
|
around and that's why they are always together.
|
|||
|
|
Gibberlings strength is in numbers. They attack in great numbers,
|
|||
|
|
uttering ghastly howls and insane chattering noises, which causes the
|
|||
|
|
boldest of comrades to check morale each round. They attack with normal
|
|||
|
|
swords and wield them with a +1 bonus. In all circumstances they will
|
|||
|
|
fight to the death, relying on sheer weight of numbers to defeat their
|
|||
|
|
enemies.
|
|||
|
|
Though they clearly have a primitive means of communicating among
|
|||
|
|
themselves, they have no discernable language.
|
|||
|
|
Gibberlings are immune to mind-affecting spells and psionic
|
|||
|
|
powers.

INSANE ASYLUM

Ecnavius Ablefingers: elven make rogue (level 9) illusionist
|
|||
|
|
(level 8); AL CG (nuetral tendencies); Str 10, Int 16, Wis 11, Con 16,
|
|||
|
|
Dex 20, Cha 14).
|
|||
|
|
Ecnav (as he prefers to be called) is a elven spy who feigns
|
|||
|
|
insanity and dimwittedness as a cover for his usual nefarious
|
|||
|
|
tendencies. He works for and answers to the warrior princess Lyrah, who
|
|||
|
|
met Ecnav by chance when he was in her chambers trying to steal her
|
|||
|
|
panties, a personal effect whom Ecnav's previous employer sought for
|
|||
|
|
his unusual fetishes (rumor had it Rusgar, Ecnav's merchant-boss, kept
|
|||
|
|
a collection of famous women's undergarments). Lyrah reformed Ecnav to
|
|||
|
|
serve her cause and aid in recapturing the lost glory of her homeland,
|
|||
|
|
which has been overrun by the sudden overpopulation of the orc and
|
|||
|
|
human races. Ecnav, in awe of Lyrah's beauty and charm, and fearful of
|
|||
|
|
her bladesinger talents, quickly succumbed to her ferociously
|
|||
|
|
persuasive personality.
|
|||
|
|
Ecnav at times goes about under the guise of a parlor magician and
|
|||
|
|
entertainer, having been the court jester of many Elvish Kings in the
|
|||
|
|
past, he has a knack for such work.

Baltar: human male cleric (level 9); age 56; AL N; AC -2; MV 12;

hp 42; #AT 1; Dmg by weapon type; Str 15, Int 8, Wis 17, Con 6, Dex 12,

Cha 14 (currently 2).
|
|||
|
|
Baltst was a cleric of Thor who got a direct look at a certain
|
|||
|
|
deity whose true appearance causes instant and permanent insanity (the
|
|||
|
|
cause of the low charisma score). By and large, Baltar has an
|
|||
|
|
undetermined kind of insanity, which unfortunately neither the clerics
|
|||
|
|
nor mages have been able to cure even with limited wish. Mostly, he
|
|||
|
|
drools and needs to be clothed, dressed and excercised by others. On
|
|||
|
|
some days he is lucid, but the only thing he ever has been known to say
|
|||
|
|
during these brief periods is " did you see it? " over and over again
|
|||
|
|
to anyone who is present. He is still kept by the Thor clerics in a
|
|||
|
|
cell below an old monastery.

Kelemvor Bloodblade: half-elf male: age 18; AL CN; AC: 10/-2; MV
|

12; hp 10; THAC0 19 (1-3 mage-thief); #AT 1; Dmg by weapon; Str 16, Dex
|
|||
|
|
18, Con 11, Int 17, Wis 14, Chr 13, San 3
|
|||
|
|
Kelemvor Bloodbane is under average in both height and apperence.
|
|||
|
|
He has black hair and green eyes. When in a normal mood he blends into
|
|||
|
|
any crowd and goes out of his way to appear nondescript. However, he's
|
|||
|
|
quite insane.
|
|||
|
|
He lives a life of pointless risks, partly for the fun of it and
|
|||
|
|
partly because he's likely runnning from the law and willing to try
|
|||
|
|
anything. However, he won't perform any service for another person
|
|||
|
|
without a reward or price, if they can't pay him, they can die.
|
|||
|
|
While he appears to be a normal, smooth talking individual he is
|
|||
|
|
infact a psychopathic killer. He is also a cannibal with a taste for
|
|||
|
|
elven flesh. Futhermoe, he is a compulsive liar and a kleptomaniac,
|
|||
|
|
making him truly untrustable.
|
|||
|
|
His life is ordered by the goddess of disease and rot (called
|
|||
|
|
Chath-Ktholl) that commands him and that only he can hear to whom he
|
|||
|
|
makes frequent sacrifices and offerings. He is totally chaotic in
|
|||
|
|
nature and is as likely to turn on his friends as anyone else.

Ty Facefirst: Dwarven Male; age 57; AL N: AC 8; MV 9; hp 8; THAC0

|
|||
|
|
Once upon a time Ty took a hallucinagen... he liked it. Too much.
|
|||
|
|
In fact he liked it so much he took stock in it. Aye, there's the
|
|||
|
|
rub! Some of the side effects of this hallucinagen became permanent. Ty
|
|||
|
|
now thinks that if he uses his hands to touch anything, they will melt.
|
|||
|
|
He then convinced one of his friends to tie his hands behind his back,
|
|||
|
|
which he did... sort of. He actually tied them with spaghetti (Ty's
|
|||
|
|
friend was a rather accomplished alcoholic who practiced constantly).
|
|||
|
|
Therefore his bond's didn't last the night, but Ty still has his hands
|
|||
|
|
behind his back. Another side effect is that because of waking up with
|
|||
|
|
his hands behind his back (even though they weren't tied) he believed
|
|||
|
|
he was a convict or thief being brought to a jail. He then convinced
|
|||
|
|
himself, since no straight thinking dwarf would become a thief, he must
|
|||
|
|
be a halfling or a gnome, but he's not sure which one. When seeing his
|
|||
|
|
alcoholic friend he fled, believing him to be the jailer, taking only
|
|||
|
|
what he had on him. His only asset to speak of was his horned helm,
|
|||
|
|
which makes a nasty weapon when used in the correct manner... ramming.
|
|||
|
|
To recap, Ty believes he is a gnome or halfling thief running from
|
|||
|
|
the law (his best friend) and he can't use his melting hands.

Puck: human male; age 23; AL CN; AC 10; MV 12; hp 4; THAC0 20; #AT
|
|||
|
|
1; Dmg by weapon type; Str 6, Dex 14, Con 11, Int 7, Wis 5, Chr 13, San
|
|||
|
|
5.
|
|||
|
|
Puck is slender young man. He has short, spiked, blonde hair which
|
|||
|
|
accentuates his beady little eyes. He has a multitude of tattoos on his
|
|||
|
|
body, mainly on his chest.
|
|||
|
|
Puck is obnoxious, disgusting, and rude. He always must be "on",
|
|||
|
|
the center of attention. Occasionally he will feel rejected and become
|
|||
|
|
docile; but once people forgive him he goes back to his crazy behavior.
|
|||
|
|
One of his favorite past times is shooting snaught from his nose.
|
|||
|
|
This act is affectionately called "shooting snaught rockets". Other
|
|||
|
|
people call it gross.
|
|||
|
|
Puck is insane. His main problem isHistrionic Personality
|
|||
|
|
Disorder. Unfortunately he has picked up a couple more disorders:
|
|||
|
|
Paranoid Personality Disorder and Passive-Aggressive Personality
|
|||
|
|
Disorder. This is why is often called a "problem". He is psycotic.
|
|||
|
|
Some phobias Puck has are Allodoxaphobia, Medomalacophobia,
|
|||
|
|
Ponophobia, and Bogyphobia. Of course he isn't limited to these phoibas
|
|||
|
|
alone.

|
|
Rosh is a middle-aged fighter. He started his life as a rich third
|
|||
|
|
son. He decided to have a life in the millitary, so his father set him
|
|||
|
|
up with the best equipment he could find: perfectly balanced blades,
|
|||
|
|
fine armor, and his pride and joy a gilded magical spear.
|
|||
|
|
His first assignment was to gaurd a caravan. He was beset upon the
|
|||
|
|
traders rivals who had paid mercanaries and mages to rob them. While
|
|||
|
|
Rosh was fighting, with his spear, one of the mages summoned a flock of
|
|||
|
|
birds, these birds stole his spear from his grasp. Filled with rage
|
|||
|
|
Rosh then lobbed his daggers at them, daggers which missed and he never
|
|||
|
|
found again. Then the birds beset upon him, lifting his posessions from
|
|||
|
|
his body one at a time. He was left abandoned on the road, bereft of
|
|||
|
|
all his things. It began to rain, and he plotted his revenge, not
|
|||
|
|
against the mage but against the birds.
|
|||
|
|
He has been hunting down birds ever sense, trying to slay all that
|
|||
|
|
he finds. He kills any that get in his way. He is scratced and scarred
|
|||
|
|
now. His skin is rough, bones out of place from multiple breakings and
|
|||
|
|
mindlessly he goes on, slaying every avian he sees. He was last spotted
|
|||
|
|
heading west after seeing a roc fly overhead.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Shouldn't the sanity of a character be left to the player and not to
|
|||
|
|
the whim of the GM?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If a GM is blessed with true role-players, then the GM may not
|
|||
|
|
need the Sanity attribute as the role-players welcome insanity without
|
|||
|
|
having rules to tell them so. However, most players don't do things
|
|||
|
|
that may put their character at a disadvantage. With the insanity
|
|||
|
|
attribute, the players have fair rules that dictate advantages and
|
|||
|
|
disadvantages to their characters.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A RPG character is suppose to be a great hero of adventure and not an
|
|||
|
|
average citizen. Should he be so acceptable to insanity?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A character was an average citizen who changed his lifestyle to go
|
|||
|
|
adventuring and should be treated no different. In fact, he is in odd
|
|||
|
|
situations while adventuring that would make him more suggestible to
|
|||
|
|
insanity.

MAGIC ITEMS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Cloak of Schizophrenia (cursed) - When worn, this cursed cloak cannot
|
|||
|
|
be removed without the use of magic. When a person puts on the cloak,
|
|||
|
|
he gets the Schizophrenia insanity with delusions of grandeur. The
|
|||
|
|
cloak will also create illusions to assist in the new personality.
|
|||
|
|
Thus, if the new personality is that of a lich, the cloak will create
|
|||
|
|
the illusion of a lich to accompany the personality.
|
|||
|
|
If the curse is lifted and the cloak is removed, the character
|
|||
|
|
must make a Sanity check. If it fails, the character keeps
|
|||
|
|
Schizophrenia.
