Default Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Overconfidence

I see a fair amount of overconfidence on character sheets. I can't say that its ever had much effect on the game. I'm not really sure how to enforce it either: I've heard some really harsh interpretations that turn it into a death sentence and rob players of agency at the worst moments, and I'd like to avoid that.

When it does show up in a character personality, its as likely to be an organic aspect as something on a character sheet.

I never stick this on a character I intend to play as a PC. My style is too cautious. I might stick it on an NPC, but likely only as an afterthought.
