Default Re: Being self aware of mental disadvantages

Generally, I avoid making self-control rolls unless there is a good RP reason.
And 'good RP reason' is generally something that gives quite a sizable bonus on the roll. (of course if you indulge your disads enough when it is not life-or-death and you probably will not have much difficulty resisting when you must 'I have such a big, beautiful fireplace at home, and if I light these scrolls on fire I'll go to prison where I will not have any fireplace... I guess I can wait half an hour to get home, but I'm going to light up a great big pile of kindling when I get there...')

Fire spells available one town over? Great! I'll be there shortly!

Have a drink? Well, my Dr. said I'm getting Cirrhosis of the liver and another drink may kill me..(roll)

That girl is cute, I'll ask her out!
She is a Princess? Even Better!
With a murderous husband/father/boyfriend? hmm(roll)
