Re: Being self aware of mental disadvantages
Some disadvantages are completely involuntary and the mana dependent nymph striving to avoid the no mana zone is perfectly acceptable. However, disadvantages about choices, and control checks, wouldn't be done if the character didn't want to do them. They will always have a rationale and routinely violating that is bad role playing.
If the wizard likes the feeling of power starting fires gives him then he's going to learn fire spells so he can feel the power. If the cleric is curious because understanding the world is why the Good Gods give reason to mankind then deliberately avoiding learning is blasphemy.
Maybe the character can realize that a bigger issue trumps their rationale. This is what control rolls are for.
