Chapter 5: Mind<br />

Megalomania<br />

Over a period of (5 + d100) months, the<br />

character experiences a recurrent and intensely inflated<br />

self-impression in 1 respect. Commonly called<br />

a character who suffers a delusion of grandeur, a<br />

megalomaniac believes they are superior to every<br />

character met. This causes significant distress or<br />

impairment in social, occupational, or other important<br />

areas of functioning.<br />

Whenever a character is afflicted with megalomania,<br />

they will believe they are superior to others<br />

in whatever is most important or enjoyable to<br />

them. For some, this may be a sub-ability, for others<br />

it will be how well they perform a given skill, and<br />

for others it will be their aptitude in an occupation.<br />

The Aedile must determine the specific respect.<br />

Megalomania differs from Narcissistic Personality<br />

Disorder because megalomaniacs believe they are<br />

superior in what is important or enjoyable, while<br />

narcissistic characters believe they are more important.<br />

Narcissistic Personality Disorder<br />

Characters with this disorder have a grandiose<br />

sense of self-importance. They seek excessive<br />

admiration from others and fantasize about unlimited<br />

success or power. They believe they are special,<br />

unique, or generally superior to others. However,<br />

they often have very fragile self-esteem.<br />

Narratophilia<br />

Over a period of (5 + 1d100) months, the<br />

character experiences recurrent and intense sexually<br />

arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving<br />

the use of dirty or obscene words to a partner.<br />

This causes significant distress or impairment<br />

in social, occupational, or other important areas of<br />

functioning.<br />

Due to this mental illness, the Debauchery<br />

(see Chap. 6: Sociality) of this character increases by<br />

10. Whenever a character is afflicted with<br />

narratophilia and alone with their partner, they must<br />

pass a Drive check at TH 15 or begin talking filth to<br />

their partner and become excited sexually, or request<br />

their partner to speak obscenities.<br />

Necrophilia<br />

This is an abnormal fascination with death<br />

and the dead, especially an erotic attraction to<br />

corpses.<br />

Due to this mental illness, the Debauchery<br />

(see Chap. 6: Sociality) of this character increases to<br />

100. Whenever a character is afflicted with necrophilia<br />

and close to a corpse, they must pass a Drive<br />

check at TH 20 or be unable to resist their urge to<br />

copulate with the corpse.<br />

Noctomania<br />

Over a period of (5 + d100) months, the<br />

character experiences a recurrent and intense impulse<br />

to avoid the day and experience the night. This<br />

causes significant distress or impairment in social,<br />

occupational, or other important areas of functioning.<br />

Whenever a character is afflicted with<br />

noctomania, behaviors will occur such as attempting<br />

to avoid the day and all daylight, sleeping during<br />

the day, and engaging in activity at night.
