Good question! Why would you want to use something that has the potential to have your PCs/NPC gibbering in the corner? Exposure to the phobia A good rule of thumb to use is each time the one who suffers is exposed to the phobia, times the severity rating by 4. You have to roll equal to or above this to be able to deal with the phobia. With crippling, which is a 5, you have to roll a 20! Sa mp Effects of Phobias in game If you pass, well done! You gain immunity to having to be tested again equal to 10 minutes – the severity rating. Failure however means moving onto the next section. file They add flavour to characters and make them seem more “real” They can help make adventures more interesting – after all suffering from a crippling fear of spiders and you have to go to “The Cave of REALLY big nasty spiders” is not going to be easy For characters, knowing what, if any, phobias the enemy suffers from can help. After all if the big bad necromancer, feared across the 5 kingdoms, has a secret fear of rabbits that leaves him lying in a pool of his own mess…what animal would you bring along with you or polymorph into? Some systems have a system that for every negative/flaw taken you gain points to spend on stats or some other kind of bonus. If using this type of system, then the number after the severity of the phobia e.g. Crippling(5) gives more than Uncomfortable(2). One good example is to be able to reroll any non-phobia related dice roll (per game adventure, not session) for each point in severity. This resets when a new adventure starts. le Severity Dislike (1) Uncomfortable (2) Mild Phobia (3) Major Fear (4) Crippling (5) What counts as exposure? Some example of exposure to the subject may include (but not limited to): Seeing the subject matter Hearing it being talked about it detail Being shown a picture/diagram etc. (but kind GM’s may allow a bonus to the phobia test for this one) Range of exposure There are two main stages for determine what phobia they have: The greater the severity of the phobia, the greater the range before you have to test. To keep it simple, range, in feet is severity x 10 1. Determine the phobia – This for many players and GM’s will be the only step needed – Roll on the d1000 chart to find out the phobia the (n)pc suffers from. Feel free to create your own phobias using 2. Determine, by rolling on the chart below (or picking), how severe the phobia is. 3 Price of Failure Faint/Collapse Subject collapse and becomes a “dead” weight. If they are attacked or damaged they wake up, but can’t defend themselves, or, do anything apart from breath normally. When they awake they can be groggy/slowed for 10 x severity in seconds. If you pass the phobia test, well done, you can deal with exposure to it and can continue. Failure however results in a negative effect being applied to the one who is suffering. The duration is equal to the severity of the phobia in minutes or combat rounds, as appropriate for your game system Fascination/Fixation The subjects’ awareness fixates on the trigger of the phobia. They HAVE to know where it is at all times, they have to keep it in sight, but at a safe distance, for example. Not everyone copes with failing the same way. You can either have the same result each time, or roll for each failure. Feel free to create your own reactions to failure. le file If the subject can’t get away from the trigger, then before the duration of this effect ends, then they must roll again on the failure chart, but using a 1d4 mp Failure Effect Anger/Attack Catatonic/Frozen in fear Confused/Suggestible Faint/Collapse Fascination/Fixation Flee Scream/Panic Slowed Sa D8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Flee The subject does everything within their power to leave the room, or, get at least severity x 10 in feet away from the trigger. Anger/Attack Some people express their fear through anger and rage. They do everything they can to attack the subject of their phobia to the exclusion of their own safety and other more dangerous targets. Scream/Panic The subject moves in a random direction (away from the trigger) every few seconds, screaming and generally panic. Can do basic attacks, but will just as likely hit any allies within 10 feet as their enemies. Slowed The phobia occupies much of the subjects mind. So much it slows their reactions and they go last in combat. Spells and other abilities take twice as long to do, etc. Catatonic/Frozen in fear The subject of their phobia can make some react by shutting down. They have to be moved by others and only their armour will protect them Obviously use common sense when reacting to phobias triggers, as not all of them can be avoided easily etc. GM’s: If your players act out the phobia well, consider granting them a bonus to experience or other reward Confused/Suggestible For some, the phobia occupies so much mental space that they become confused as to who and what their own friends are. They will believe anyone who removes or even offers to remove the phobia causing subject. 4 001 – 200 5-6 7-8 9 - 10 11 - 12 13 - 14 15 - 16 17 - 18 53 - 54 55 - 56 57 - 58 59 - 60 61 - 62 63 - 64 65 - 66 67 - 68 69 - 70 71 - 72 23 - 24 25 - 26 27 - 28 29 - 30 31 - 32 33 - 34 35 - 36 37 - 38 39 - 40 41 - 42 43 - 44 45 - 46 47 - 48 Sa mp 19 - 20 21 - 22 51 - 52 file 3-4 Phobia Ablutophobia- Fear of washing or bathing.
