Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

The character has compulsions that they are unable to avoid. The GM will alert them whenever they feel such a compulsion. They can do nothing else until the task is completed. The GM may use this for comic effect at times, but it is not wise to waste the party's time by constantly assigning menial tasks to this character.
***An example of a good GM: during playtesting we had an OCD character and were investigating a haunted mansion. We absolutely could not figure out where to go next at one point, until the GM told our OCD character that they felt the need to rearrange every book in the library by color. After an hour of working the shelves while the other characters searched the mansion, the character moved to a new bookshelf and pulled out the first book, opening a secret passage. Unfortunately, he continued arranging books and didn't tell the rest of the party about the secret door for another three hours!***
