Message: <blockquote data-quote="Laurel" data-source="post: 2407514" data-attributes="member: 17067">So my current PC gets these horrible debilitating headaches that strike at random. I have gone back and forth mostly with myself and also through the d20 modern forums on how to achieve this. I am playing in a Sidewinder type d20 past campaign, and we are using flaws. I tried this route, but as quite a few people from ENWorld and my DM pointed out there were big issues with getting-- the right feel and rules and mechanics and not over working the DM with crazy things-- all to balance. So would anyone recommend another option?  I am fine with having it be a straight penalty, with no positives. My original idea was:Inopportune Migraine: Anytime a 5 or lower is rolled on the dice the character is incapacitated for 1d4 rounds and can only make a single move action. This effects all rolls for attacks, skill checks, and saving throws. If a one is rolled on the attack roll a second roll is still required. If it is determined a critical miss, the normal penalties still occur above the incapacitation. But this again balance wise doesn't quite work. I know I could just RP it, but there is something about being in a battle or middle of that important conversation and having it strike. For some reason to me that seems more real and cool.... I could also just say okay she has a headache now, but don't think I could have that be a killing effect... whereas the dice might roll it that way. Hopefully my DM will chime in, but let me know any ideas you may have! Thanks in advance! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
