You struggle with visual and auditory hallucinations. These symptoms are not present constantly, but enough that they no longer surprise you. You often see shadow people moving out of the corners of your eyes, occasionally strange full-color apparitions, as well as often hearing people call out your name (but when you look, no one is there- These are often in the voice of a loved one, dead or alive). These symptoms seem to worsen when under great pressure or stress. Being with friends and loved ones often help reduce their occurrence.
With this condition comes a healthy dose of paranoia and paranoid ideations. It is hard for you to trust anyone initially as they may be agents of a nefarious undefined other or organization. As with your hallucinations, these symptoms will sometimes increase with stress. Sometimes to the point of thinking your friends or family may also be nefarious agents. Because of this paranoia, you are constantly hypervigilant and very hard to surprise.
Because of how this condition affects you, the following mechanics apply:
- You are heavily resistant to visual/auditory illusions. This bestows Advantage on your perception (wisdom) checks to see through the spell.

- You can't be surprised while you are conscious.
- Other creatures don’t gain advantage on attack rolls against you as a result of being unseen by you.
