Coward

Mental Fault

Expoint Bonus: 4

You can't stand the sight of blood — well, yours, anyway. You take a −4 penalty on all Courage rolls, and you likewise take a −1 penalty on all offensive combat actions. This is because your entire attention is devoted to protecting yourself from harm: you gain a +1 bonus to your Defense Roll (your buddies can fend for themselves). In any combat situation, you will likely flee at the earliest opportunity. If you cannot escape, you will surrender. Combat-oriented or courageous characters who know of your cowardice will certainly lose respect for you.
