A phobia is an intense, abnormal, or illogical fear of something. Almost everybody has things that they are afraid of to one degree or another. Even great adventurers can have a intense fear of something. The number of phobias a character has is dependant of his Sanity attribute. If his Sanity score changes, so will the number of phobias. This is the base number of phobias a character will always have. He may gain additional phobias as an insanity during his adventuring career.
The first step is to determine what class of phobia the character has. This is done by rolling 1d100 and comparing the result to the Phobia Class Table. The second step is to determine the exact nature of the phobia. Roll on the appropriate phobia class table to get the phobia the character has.
If the GM wishes to add more phobias to the list, he should get a Latin-English dictionary. Then he should look up the word he wants for a phobia, get the Latin translation, and add phobia to the end of the word.

Sexual Phobias
If played properly, these phobias can give character a good amount of extra depth, however, played incorrectly can be disastrous. There are two tables for this section, Male and Female. If the character is homosexual or bisexual, then go to the appropriate sex 90% of the time and the opposite sex of the character the remaining 10% of the time. If a character rolls an impossibility (a male rolls a strictly female phobia), then reroll on the table appropriate to the character's sex.
