Since he tends to be continuously drunk, it's probably simpler to give him some level of alcohol tolerance that lets him ignore part of the penalty - arguably sobriety might actually interfere with his skills. He did give up drinking once and it did not noticeably improve his performance in the field.

I would consider giving him HIGH(ish) IQ, but more 'be stupid' disadvantages. He is pretty good at almost everything skill based he encounters

He seems to have great problem solving ability, when it suits him and hes not under pressure.

So: Nightmares (IQ only)
<some way to model his mother's intereferance and belittling of him>
On the edge
Impulsiveness
Clueless
Lazy
Low Empathy
Alcoholisim
Lecherous
Loner


This way some days he can act like a genius, but he still can't sit down and put together a plan or execute one in combat, because the combinatin of on the edge and impulsiveness combined with lazy means identify most direct route to goal; execute- self preservation be damned

I did some snipping. But yeah. Normally you'd give him low IQ, but he is smart in too many things to be dumb. So he has a laundry list od disads.

To model that, I'd say Low Self Image. And personality change - no low self image when drunk, so he doesn't take a whopping -6

The Drunken Fighting perk is certainly appropriate.

If he can escape the penalties of Low Self-Image through the consumption of a commonly available substance, oughtn't he have Mitigator on Low Self-Image?

Yes he should. Even if the substance is also in itself somewhat function-impairing.
