Whenever a character experiences something horrific or traumatic, a Psyche test should be called for. If failed, sometimes a character is given some sort of mental illness or penalty.
A character with no Psyche has gone (or maybe always has been) completely raving mad. A character with a poor Psyche score is mentally fragile, easily unhinged, and a prime target for madness and curses. A character with a good Psyche score is mentally stable, able to withstand the freaky and unnatural as if it were commonplace.
Poor psyches include Bram Stoker's Renfeld, Macbeth, or overworked postal employees, while examples of good psyches include Lewis Carrol's Alice, Tony Robbins, and counselors.
