Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Severe
At some point during the character’s mortal life or undead Requiem, he experienced a horrible trauma, and he’s never quite gotten over it. Often, such trauma is born of war-time violence or brutal assault, but the Embrace itself might qualify. A loud scream or a firecracker exploding nearby, or perhaps even the taste of blood not intentionally ingested, can cause your character to shut down physically and mentally. Roll Resolve + Composure when something triggers this derangement, or your character succumbs to a powerful panic attack, wherein he cannot move except to hide. He suffers a -2 penalty on all rolls for the remainder of the scene as well and Willpower points cannot be spent to bolster any rolls during that period.
