[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7326386, member: 7006"] Are you using the Traits, Ideals, Bonds & Flaws system? Because what you are describing for this character is a perfect Flaw. "I go blind with rage when I see an orc." is a wonderful Flaw to have. At this point if the PC sees an orc you don't need to roll a die to see if they go berserk... you just tell the player that you'll give them Inspiration if they do lose control. The player then can decide if they want to take the bennie in exchange for letting their character get into a bit of trouble. That's really the whole point of the Inspiration system... to give players a reward for letting themselves get into trouble. Getting into trouble can be fun, and it can take the story in all manner of directions. So offer them a reward of Inspiration if they let themselves lose it in the orc's presence. Because then you aren't forcing them do it... they get to decide for themselves whether they want to (because they don't have to take the Inspiration if they don't want to lose control at that point in time.)
