Message: <blockquote data-quote="Quickbeam" data-source="post: 153512" data-attributes="member: 635">Regardless of how you choose to manifest the following suggestion, it's an imperative (of sorts) that your character have some bizarre pattern of communication.  Others have touched on this, and I think it's a perfect clue to fellow party members that your PC isn't playing with a full deck any longer.  He could:-- Talk to imaginery people, monsters, objects.-- Argue/chat with himself outloud when faced with decisions.-- Scream incoherently for no apparent reason, as durath suggested.-- Begin and end each sentence with a bizarre noise or sound, sorta like Billy Bob Thornton's character in Slingblade.Beyond the speech issues, I'd suggest other quirks like:-- Pointing in an animated manner whenever you address someone, as though you're trying to drive home a very important concept.-- Carry around some truly foul object and refer to it as your pet.-- Sobbing uncontrollably when things don't go your way.-- Paranoia is always indicative of larger problems beneath the surface.-- Selective recall is good, as DarkJester noted.-- Become fascinated by the mundane; have your PC spend hours examining the straps on his backpack, or a lady bug, or the shape of an ale mug.-- Have him begin to display signs of totally irrational fears.  He won't step over puddles, and howls in anguish when others do so; or perhaps the sight of black gloves makes him curl into the fetal position, trembling in fear.You get the picture.  Good luck with this intriguing and challenging character concept <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> !</blockquote>
