Cowardly

(Major Unfavorable Trait)

A character that is a Coward reacts badly to violence, social pressure and trauma. They are generally at a -4 to SPIRIT to defend against the effects of Fear and fearful situations, and will avoid direct confrontation when they can. This does not mean they won't defend themselves, just that they will try to find ways to avoid conflict that can directly cause them pain, hardship, loss or being trapped. If cornered or with no other alternative they will fight, though not always effectively, and always because of desperation.

Just because a character tends towards diplomacy does not make them a coward, no more than a willingness to retreat when facing overwhelming odds or to find a non-violent way of handling a problem. True cowards are actually quite rare.

This trait cannot be taken with the trait Patriotic.
