Chapter 5: Mind
Megalomania
Over a period of (5 + d100) months, the
character experiences a recurrent and intensely inflated
self-impression in 1 respect. Commonly called
a character who suffers a delusion of grandeur, a
megalomaniac believes they are superior to every
character met. This causes significant distress or
impairment in social, occupational, or other important
areas of functioning.
Whenever a character is afflicted with megalomania,
they will believe they are superior to others
in whatever is most important or enjoyable to
them. For some, this may be a sub-ability, for others
it will be how well they perform a given skill, and
for others it will be their aptitude in an occupation.
The Aedile must determine the specific respect.
Megalomania differs from Narcissistic Personality
Disorder because megalomaniacs believe they are
superior in what is important or enjoyable, while
narcissistic characters believe they are more important.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Characters with this disorder have a grandiose
sense of self-importance. They seek excessive
admiration from others and fantasize about unlimited
success or power. They believe they are special,
unique, or generally superior to others. However,
they often have very fragile self-esteem.
Narratophilia
Over a period of (5 + 1d100) months, the
character experiences recurrent and intense sexually
arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving
the use of dirty or obscene words to a partner.
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
10. Whenever a character is afflicted with
narratophilia and alone with their partner, they must
pass a Drive check at TH 15 or begin talking filth to
their partner and become excited sexually, or request
their partner to speak obscenities.
Necrophilia
This is an abnormal fascination with death
and the dead, especially an erotic attraction to
corpses.
Due to this mental illness, the Debauchery
(see Chap. 6: Sociality) of this character increases to
100. Whenever a character is afflicted with necrophilia
and close to a corpse, they must pass a Drive
check at TH 20 or be unable to resist their urge to
copulate with the corpse.
Noctomania
Over a period of (5 + d100) months, the
character experiences a recurrent and intense impulse
to avoid the day and experience the night. This
causes significant distress or impairment in social,
occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
Whenever a character is afflicted with
noctomania, behaviors will occur such as attempting
to avoid the day and all daylight, sleeping during
the day, and engaging in activity at night.
