Now I can play adventure mode without suffering from PTSD as a result of slaying sapients but only in full moon.

Just letting you know.

I'm 90% certain that your thoughts don't matter at all in adventure mode.

As in there's nothing thoughts actually prevent you from doing? Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're correct. I'm honestly a bit more of a roleplayer than many adventurers though so I'll sometimes let my readings of my character's thoughts influence my actions, but in actual mechanical terms adventurer thoughts are entirely inconsequential. If your character is traumatized from killing people, ultimately that's not a barrier to how many people you'll have them kill in the future.

A negative thought can cause an adventurer to become enraged if you know which personality traits to emphasize and I think actually managing to make your adventurer go insane disables dodging, based on arena mode stress testing.

One wonders if this is because of the character temporarily having NOFEAR token...

Only a -3 to anger PC/NPC (never comes angry) is immune to becoming "enraged-at-all-enemies!" when hit hard enough in combat. -2 and -1 limit the effect from conversations.

An enraged PC/NPC is limited to wild attack (2 tick prepare, 5 tick recover), and adjacent tile dodge, maintaining contact with their enemy. No way to mitigate this by jumping away either to wait out the status effect.

But yeah, if you want total control over a PC, give them -3 to anger.

+3 to closemindedness shuts down a values/persuader spammer just so a character doesn't acquire new ideas, given conversations like combat, are without context.

I know that giving my adventurer certain personality downplays the role of stress. I just dislike the fact that killing sapients who deserve to die cause trauma regardless of apathy unless you have [NOFEAR].
