Bellator: God has ordained that you are not meant to carry sacks. Or anything, if it can be avoided. Your carry weight is halved on principle and if anyone sees you pick up anything “not befitting of your station” your charisma decreases by 5.

Gilded: You’re used to making people notice you. And Hanush always complains about your “peacocking” because of it. There’s a reason Henry does your thieving for you. You’re naturally more conspicuous and visible, no matter how slow you crouch walk.

Prideful Student: You’re terrible at following instructions and if you’re not naturally good at something you want no part of it. All experience is gained 40% slower.

Lightweight: You’ll never admit it, but you can’t hold your liquor for shite. A shame, considering how much you love drinking it . . . You get drunk quicker and pass out faster. Additionally, you need to drink significantly less alcohol to become addicted.

Mysophobia: You hate being dirty. The worse it is the pissier you’ll get. You don’t want to talk to anyone. All you want is a bath. The usual effects of being dirty are doubled, and you become soiled 30% easier. When dirty all speech experience is reduced by half.

Noble Diet: You’re used to only the finest in life. Now that you’re living off the land eating has become something of a chore . . . Food spoils inside your inventory 35% faster and fills you up 20% less. When gutting animals you can only take half the meat.

Irascible: You’re quick to anger and quicker to anger everyone around you. This has resulted in people trying to punch you in the face. A lot, recently. Everyone wants a piece of you, making them stronger, braver, and more resilient. The effect is multiplied based on the combat skills of your opponent - the stronger the opponent, the greater their buff is. What's more, you take 15% more damage.

Obnoxious Client: Something about your noble bearing compels people to insist upon higher prices when dealing with you. This includes the guards you’re trying to bribe. Prices on all items are increased by 30%. Except the ones you’re trying to sell. Those are reduced by 40%. Bartering patience is greatly reduced.

Silver Spoon: The only stealing you’ve ever had to do was your uncle’s wine . . . on several occasions. And that was with Henry’s help. On your own? You’re terrible at this. Your lockpicks break 20% faster and stolen items in your inventory will be marked as such for longer. Gaining thievery experience is 30% slower.

 Distrusted: All that mess in Trosky Castle and Troskowitz must have gotten around. People immediately dislike you. You are more likely to get caught selling stolen items and guards will pull you over for “inspections” more often.
