Fear of food. The characters become revolted by the thought of food and stop eating. When they do eat, they usually do so uncontrollably, excessively, and in private. After eating, they will often make themselves ill, out of a feeling of guilt. Anorexia leads to rapid weight loss and, although the characters may become unhealthily thin and wasted, they will still believe themselves to be grotesquely fat. In a game, such characters must pass a WP test after eating or be unable to keep the food down. The result is extremely unpleasant to watch and, needless to say, a breach of most forms of etiquette. The affliction also takes its toll on the character's health:
- After one month, the character loses one W point.
- After two months, the character loses a further W point and one point of S.
- After three months, the character loses one point of T.
There are no further effects beyond this. Lost characteristic points are recovered within a month of the affliction being cured.
