Severe Phobia

Category: Flaws
Cost/Value: -1 or -2 points

Description

You have a deep, irrational, and paralyzing terror of a specific object, creature, or situation. This isn't just a dislike; it is a full-blown panic response. Common phobias in Cyoria might include spiders (Aranea), enclosed Dungeon spaces, heights, or the undead.

Mechanic: You suffer a -2 dice penalty to all actions when directly confronted with the object of your phobia.

• -1 Point Value: The phobia is relatively uncommon and easily avoided (e.g., deep water, specific rare monsters).
• -2 Point Value: The phobia is common and hard to avoid in a typical campaign (e.g., spiders, dark enclosed spaces, blood).
