You have suffered trauma so terrible that you don't dare talk about it. Your mind has been tortured, deprived and manipulated, as has your body, that by now something has broken in your head. You can't be cured completely. Your thinking, whether disjointed or lucid only for a few moments or disoriented or lost in dreams makes you strange in people's eyes and has isolated you from most people. You must find a way to stem your illness before it destroys you.

Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from among Arcana, Perception, Religion, Medicine, or Survival

After each long rest or at the times you freely prefer, choose phobia or a madness that will manifest itself until the next rest or roll one on the Mental state table 

Those who look into your eyes can see that you have been through unspeakable torments. Even though they may fear you, ordinary people will offer you every courtesy and will do their best to help you. Unless you have proven yourself to be a danger to them, they will take up arms to fight alongside you, should you find yourself facing an enemy alone.
