Red Scare

Red Scare is a Van Buren trait.

Effects
You are paranoid in the extreme and think that everyone around you may be trying to do you in. Your effective PE is +2 for purposes of determining sight range, but your shaky nerves in combat give you a -5 penalty to hit.

Behind the scenes
The First and Second Red Scares were anti-communist hysteria that occurred in the United States of America from 1919-1921 and 1947-1957.
