In my next campaign I'll be playing a Human Spellthief, either of CG or CN alignment. I want him to have a condition where he has a severe magic addiction. If he goes so long without absorbing a spell, I'm thinking either twelve or twenty four hours, depending on the severity of the withdrawal symptoms, something start happening to him, but I'm having trouble figuring out fun effects that won't be annoying and problematic for the other players.
Some effects I was thinking about already is alignment sliding farther towards CE the longer he goes, perhaps negatives to wisdom and bonuses to strength or dexterity, to represent loss of logic due and becoming more desperate and animalistic due to the "cravings." I'd prefer not to have him out right into something else, and I'd like to have "stages" of withdrawals that increase the longer he goes without absorbing magic, but I am open to all ideas! Thanks in advance, Playgrounders!
