hi everyone
i have character and want to give him some flaws (traits and mannerism).
the problem is that i dont have ideas

he is a Rogue/Mage and uses his spells to enhance his combat abilities ( so he is quite a skilled fighter if buffed )
he has keen senses ( good in spot), is agile (and move silent/hide),strong and intelligent
(str 14,dex14,con14,int16,wis10,cha8)


his only "flaw" is the he is a hell of a snorer, and we had a lot of fun due to this trait. but im looking for some more things to add.

i considered making him oblivious but as i myselfe am quite oblivious this would not be that creative, but if i dont find something better ...


any idea is welcome

He might be frogetfull, constantly frogeting minor details, or terribly sarcastic. I have alot of fun with sarcasim with my characters, theres nothing beter then mocking the king right in front of his gaurds, although I have lost 3 characters that way.

He might also be quicktempered with people the thinks are stupid. Impaciant and wanting to get right to the point. My newest character is very curius about things, a flaw when he acsdently sets off a fireball in his inn room...

Keep thinking, there are so many flaws in people :devil:

Well, his charisma is low despite his other high scores, which usually indicates that there is something not quite right about him. Perhaps he has some sort of physical challenge? Bad body odor? A fear of red roses? Phobias can be alot of fun. Paranoia can be entertaining too.

Develop a passion for some kind of aliment, that could be mushrooms, beetroot, cheese, honey...

Maybe he loves to over-pronunciate "R"s , yet he has no Amnite or Damaran roots...
