Mental Problems

1 to 3 pt. Drawback

There are three levels to this quality, and many different ways in which it can manifest. At a Mild level, it's good for a 1 pt. Drawback. This means it's controllable and the character can keep it reined in. At Severe, the 2 pt. level, it's a little more harsh. It affects the character's daily life, and it becomes obvious something is wrong. At Deranged, the 3 pt. level, the character is clearly a nut, and will not put the considerations of society, the law, their friends, or anything else over the top of their mental issues.

As mentioned, there are a number of different ways this can manifest, as listed below:

COWARDICE	Apply the level as a penalty to Fear Checks.
CRUELTY	The character likes to inflict pain and suffering on others.
DECEIT	The character is a compulsive liar and needs to make a doubled Willpower roll with a penalty equal to the level of the Drawback to tell the truth.
DELUSIONS	The character believes something that isn't true, or hallucinates.
OBSESSION	The character is fixated on a particular person or activity.
PARANOIA	Convinced someone is out to get you.
PHOBIA	When confronted by the topic of the phobia, roll a Fear Check with a penalty equal to the level of the Drawback.
RECKLESSNESS	Jumps into danger boldly, bravely, stupidly.
VIOLENCE	When faced with a confrontational situation, must make a doubled Willpower check with a penalty equal to the level of the Drawback.
ZEALOT	Character holds some belief so strongly that it dominates their life.
