Addictions or disorders

Hey WS,

You talked a lot about the local drunkards or NPCs with a regular drinking behavior. I was wondering two things: Are there any other addictions? I don’t mean drugs, but for example having a full stomach at any time (gluttony) or stealing from other people any time, even if it’s just some useless item (kleptomania).

If that is possible for the NPC, is it applying to the hero, too? I mean can the hero have addictions, too? Could an addiction also be out of the player’s control or at least difficult to handle?

Compulsive gambling or ludomania! Visit the tavern to roll dice and lose all your coin! Never say no to a bet!

NPCs could possess addictive traits that help define their choices. I compulsive gambler may be found in the tavern playing dice (or whatever would be period appropriate). Depending on how you roleplay your character you might take advantage of tendencies in NPCs towards drink or vice.

That’s what I already know and was actually not the question, but thanks anyways :wink:
