Men just want to be with you, buy you pretty things and treat you well in the hope of stealing a kiss

Eidetic memory

A character with eidetic memory may recall any map, writing or scene that they have studied. This is not automatic, they need to have stated that they are memorising it.

They make normal memory checks at advantage.

Fast healer

A fast healer heals all wounds (not stamina) at twice the normal rate.

They will have a noticeably large nose.

They will all help in discovering illusions.

You have 4 extra wound points (2 life + 2 wound) & corresponding starting stamina.

Addiction (Compulsion)

There is some activity in which you are hopelessly compelled to partake. It is a ritual that is so ingrained in your behavior that it requires a feat of will to forsake it, even in dire circumstances.
This may be something illicit and addictive, such as sake or gambling, or it may be as innocuous as visiting every major temple you pass.(Free / MInor / Major)

Resisting your compulsion requires a straight roll DC 8/10/12 (for Free/Minor/Major). This is not based on a stat as that would make it meaaningless for certain characters and therefore not a complication.

e.g. Minor

A mild alcoholic will always get drunk after returning from an adventure to a place of supposed safety. If they fail a save they will become paralytic.

Saving up for something is almost impossible, if you don't have the money now you'll simply spend it on something else. You stay at best inns and eat the best food food you can afford leading a good lifestyle with appropriate costs. You can always go and earn more when it runs out.

At least 20% of all earnings is spent on ephemeral goods.

Deep sleeper

A deep sleeper would sleep through the end of the world. Only magic or physical shaking will wake the character.

Do it with Style

When there is an option to be flamboyant you will take it, especially if it makes the action harder.

Driven

You are possessed by some goal, and will sacrifice almost anything to accomplish it. Family, friends, material possessions all mean nothing compared to the potential completion of this goal, whatever it may be.

e.g. defend the weak, protect women discover the Dragonstone.

Erratic

You fumble on a natural 3 but critical on a natural 15

These characters have a goal in life from which they won't be dissuaded. They will gladly die for their beliefs (and frequently will). Any code of behaviour or goals will always override any goals of the party.

Fascination

You are completely fascinated by some subject, and will go to great lengths to learn more about it or to experience it in new ways. Typical subjects of fascination include music, horses, poetry, and history. This fascination badly impedes your judgment, and you will take even dishonorable actions to learn more.

Filcher

You can't help but help yourself to things which aren't yours. If somebody leaves something around they obviously meant for you to have it. If they nailed it down they were just giving you a challenge

Ooh, Shiny !

Easily distracted by shiny and valuable objects.

Overconfident

Phobia (Minor to Major)

A phobia may be partially overcome in the face of physical danger if a save is made. All phobias mean the character suffers a -4 penalty to all actions for an attack or -2 if the save is made.

Prejudice

You don't like a particular class of people of things, no real reason except that they are all obviously evil.

Unlucky

A character who is unlucky has a problem. It does not affect any die rolls but if there is one person in a city they do not want to meet they will probably bump into them rounding a corner. If one person's tent leaks, you know who's it will be. If the Rhino charges it's you it's heading for.
