Chapter 5: Mind
Satyromania
Over a period of (5 + d100) months, the
male experiences an uncontrollable desire for sexual
intercourse. This causes significant distress or impairment
in social, occupational, or other important
areas of functioning. This disorder affects only
males. Satyromaniacs are also known as sex maniacs.
Due to this mental illness, the Debauchery
(see Chap. 6: Sociality) of this character increases by
25. Whenever a male is afflicted with satyromania
and around females with a Charisma exceeding 130,
he must pass a Drive check at TH 20 or attempt to
solicit sex, usually making lecherous comments about
her body.
Schizoid Personality Disorder
This disorder involves social isolation and a
lack of desire for close personal relationships. Characters
with this disorder prefer to be alone and seem
withdrawn and emotionally detached. They seem
indifferent to praise or criticism from other characters.
Those afflicted experience an increase of 2d20
points in Phlegmatic Temperament and a decrease
of 2d20 points each in Sanguine, Choleric, and Melancholic
Temperament.

Schizophrenia
Meaning ‘split mind’, but not to be confused
with split personality or multiple personality, schizophrenia
is characterized by a variety of symptoms,
including:
1. loss of contact with reality
2. bizarre behavior
3. disorganized thinking and speech
4. decreased emotional expressiveness
5. social withdrawal
Usually only some of these symptoms (1d6)
occur in any 1 schizophrenic character. To observers,
schizophrenia seems like madness or insanity.
Schizophrenics have a hard time distinguishing between
the real and unreal, logical and illogical, appropriate
and inappropriate, and accordingly suffer
penalties of - 40 in the sub-abilities of Analytic
Intelligence as well as Common Sense. Further,
some (10%) pose a danger to themselves and may
be suicidal. Once inflicted, schizophrenia usually
remains for life, though it usually grows less severe
with age. Psychotic symptoms are popular in schizophrenic
characters.
Scoptophilia
Over a period of (5 + 1d100) months, the
character experiences recurrent and intense sexually
arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving
sexual pleasure from watching others have
sex. This causes significant distress or impairment
in social, occupational, or other important areas of
functioning.
Due to this mental illness, the Debauchery
(see Chap. 6: Sociality) of this character increases by
5. Whenever a scoptophiliac observes, or has the
chance to observe, others having sex, they must pass
a Drive check at TH 20 to sexually control themselves,
such as refrain from touching their genitals
or masturbation. A scoptophiliac may prowl a community
at night, hoping to find the home of a couple
who are having sex and be able to observe them.
Dark elves have a higher frequency of scoptophilia
than other races.
