Talk:Psycho (5e Background)
From D&D Wiki
Definition of Psychopathy[edit]
This background is... really inaccurate on what defines a psychopath. Psychopathy has nothing to do with delusions or split-personalities and has more to do with having little-to-no empathy. This sounds more like a hollywood-style take on schizophrenia or DID, and kinda harms both by spreading violent stereotypes that, in reality, are in the extreme minority.

- I came here to say exactly that. While it's impossible to avoid unrealistic tropes in D&D, we as a culture are becoming more sensitive to real-world mental illnesses. Re-reading the page, it seems to be trying take on PTSD rather than anything else. Marasmusine (talk) 12:37, 15 March 2020 (MDT)
