Aftershock Table

Characters who experience great trauma, especially in the throes of combat, may wish to roll on the Aftershock Table to determine how their character's trauma manifests or how their character copes. At the player's decision, they may choose to take a mechanical drawback to represent their character's struggles, but this is not mandated by the Aftershock Table.
This is not meant to serve as a means of diagnosing a character with any particular disorder resulting from trauma, and players using this table should take care to not overly dramaticize or make light of its contents or disorders relating to them in roleplay. This is meant to be a tool to assist players whose characters experience a traumatic event and wish to develop their struggles relating to it further. It is not the end-all, be-all of character behavior, and players should consider their own character's personality and backstory when applying these roll results.
