I’m of the group that thinks “starved for SP” isn’t ailment, but a boon. If there’s many good abilities, so many that choosing between them goes down to between one good option to another good option- and you want both- that’s amazing. That means you can pick for flavor instead of making the “right” choice of picking the strictly more beneficial option. And of course quantity isn’t better than quality, but having both quantity and quality is desirable above each of those qualities alone

As for the specifics of the thread, there’s already classes that benefit off of negative effect. Hexers benefit off of curses, curates benefit off of lack of enchantments (although not effectively so), and so forth. The concept of a warrior bruised and eyes gouged, still fighting at a peak is a significant trope in fantasy media- and even in the real world, as well, although under different circumstances than that of a quasi-magical death-seeking mentality.

Is this substantial enough?
