Inordinately Inquisitive
You cannot stand the sensation of not knowing something. You will go to great lengths to sate your curiosity, even if it's intrusive or even illegal.
Prerequisite: Non-Lawful alignment
Effect: If there is a location that you are forbidden to go into, a locked container, or if you roll sense motive and discover that someone is withholding information, then you intensely fixate on the source. You are considered to be distracted, have a disadvantage to concentration rolls, and feel irritable and uncomfortable, causing a -4 penalty to all of your rolls until you get answers.
You may attempt a Will save (DC 5+ your level) to resist the compulsion to investigate the secret.
If you succeed, you quell the urge and are immune to the particular source that triggered this drawback, but not others that are similar to it.
If you fail, then you cannot shake the feeling unless you know what is being concealed from you. You do not actually have to go in, open it, or directly confront the liar, but you must get the information another way if you do not, such as through research or gathering information through talking to others.
However, if you critically fail, then you are at the mercy of your hubris and compulsively try to enter, open, or interrogate depending on the situation.
Benefit: Any bonus feat for which you meet the prerequisites.
Special: None
