Risk-Taking Behavior

-1 point

A desire to use your skills or resources in high-stakes situa-
tions – even when no one is asking you to take the risk, or the
approach isn’t absolutely necessary – is a valid quirk because it
exposes you to needless dangers. Good examples are “Hires
criminal thugs,” “Likes to drive fast,” “Prefers to walk point on
patrol,” and “Prone to using explosives.” When the act in ques-
tion is unavoidable or the risks are trivial, this is a pure role-
playing matter. However, if your favorite activity is just one
possible solution to the problem at hand, and not the least-
risky one, you must either act on your impulse (just as if you
had Impulsiveness) or argue interminably (treat as Stubborn-
ness) – your choice.
The desire for safety
stands against every
great and noble
enterprise.
