Note that if you have this Disability, the greater the Will roll failure, the more urgent your need for painful satisfaction. Without a place in which to safely indulge your desire, you may resort to any action that will result in pain. At a low level of failure (-1 to -2 Ss), perhaps you start a fight with the biggest guy in the bar. At medium levels (-3 or -4 Ss), maybe you stick your hand in the campfire. At high levels of failure (-5 or -6 Ss), you might run in front of a charging horse. At extreme levels (-7+ Ss), throwing yourself down the stairs or out a window are possible.
