Re: Being self aware of mental disadvantages
Modifiers to Self-Control rolls are your friend.
An alcoholic who has recently quit drinking might roll at +4 to not head to a bar and get a drink. If they pass by a bar, they might roll at a +2. In they have to enter a bar, they might roll at -0 to not get a drink. If someone pours a drink for them and puts in front of them, they might roll at -2. Etc.
Someone with Pyromania might roll at +4 to not head to the wizard school and learn a fire spell. If they meet a fire-spell teacher at an inn, they might roll at +2 to not ask for a lesson. If someone told a fire mage with Pyromania that there was an unguarded origami exhibit down the road, they might roll at +2 to not visit it because they know that once they see those little, paper figures, they will probably be rolling at -4 to not burn something.
Someone with Curious might roll at +4 to tape up the windows of their carriage and lock the doors in preparation for their road trip. If they succeed, they might claim a +2 on the trip to not start peeling at the windows to get a peek. If they failed however, the best they can do is slouch down in the seat and roll at +0 (instead of +2) when they know they are riding over new territory.
