| 2 | I have a bad history with cows. No cow is good. Dead cows are better. |
| 3 | I used to be a cow. No, seriously. |
| 4 | Once, when I was young, a cow aided me. Since that time I have aided them whenever I can. I will never forget her kind eyes. |
| 5 | Once, when I was young, a cow wronged me. Hell won’t prevent me from exacting my just retribution from the humility. |
| 6 | I was raised on a farm. Of course I have a cow history. The #$%@ is this? |
| d6 | Flaw |
|---|---|
| 1 | I am so consumed in my hatred of cows that I will ignore all other threats if I detect the presence of a cow. |
| 2 | Cows fascinate me. I will stop whatever I am doing if I see one in order to actively point out cows to my companions. |
| 3 | I seek a very specific cow, and will stop whatever I am doing to actively pursue that cow if I learn she is near. |
| 4 | I scream “Cow” as loud as possible at the most inopportune moments or when I'm nervous. |
| 5 | I have decided that in order to blend in with cows, I must smell like them. I offer no apology for this. |
| 6 | Cows frighten me to such an extent that I will immediately flee if I even suspect the presence of one in my vicinity. |
