4.6 Idiosyncrasies
- Every character has quirks that are unique to his personality.
Sometimes these quirks are so bizarre that they go beyond normally
accepted standards. These eccentric qualities are known as idiosyncrasies.
- Some of the idiosyncrasies listed on the following table are not
behavioral traits, but rather physical idiosyncrasies. These idiosyncrasies
are usually allergies and odd physical characteristics, but some
handicaps are included.
- Every player character has a percentage chance listed, as listed
on Table 4.6.1: Chance for idiocyncracy, to have one or more idiosyncracies.
If the an idiosyncrasy is indicated roll on Table 4.6.2: Idiosyncracies,
to determine the nature of the idiosyncrasy the character possesses.
- Idiosyncrasies can sometimes be frustrating to play, but like
alignment they are a tool to help enhance roleplaying. Players
who roleplay their character's idiosyncrasy will be rewarded with
additional experience points.
- In some cases an idiosyncrasy may be indicated which would not
be realistic for a character of that class to have. For example,
it would be highly unlikely to have a lecher paladin or a stuttering
wizard. In these cases another idiosyncrasy should be rolled.
If the second roll indicates an idiosyncrasy which would not be
realistic for a character of the class in question, then the character
has no idiosyncrasy.
