Editing Ailments

Ailments are negative in-game character attributes that may include an illness, sickness, disorder or affliction. Ailments also affect a character's ability to act during events or encounters.

== Mental Ailments ==
Mental ailments only affect humanoid companions. They affect both the loyalty and performance of the afflicted party member.
