Epilepsy (Disadvantage, 4 points, 5 points for Crane) [Physical] The Epilepsy disadvantage is a result of continuous interbreeding between the Imperial Line and Crane families. Epilepsy is rare, and causes rigidity of muscles, shaking symptoms and even death in the worst cases. The trigger is usually high amounts of stress, but also flshing lights such as fireworks can cause a seizure. Rokugani believe the person who presents in such a manner is a channel for divine influences, and as a result the character may become shunned by normal society but worshipped by those brave enought to come near.

- Epilepsy was a neurological disorder mentioned on a form which may or may not have been seen in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Carpenter Street" . The form gave another term for epilepsy as fits. The person who filled out the form, Jef Duncan, had not checked this box off. This form can be seen here: [1]
- Epilepsy was a medical condition causing sudden, randomly occurring bouts of seizures and unconsciousness, lasting from minutes to hours. Severe cases caused violent convulsions in which the sufferer was at risk of injuring themselves.
- Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. These seizures are transient signs and/or symptoms of abnormal, excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. About 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, with almost 90% of these people being in developing countries. Dr. Brent Langham suffered from epilepsy and Dr. Janet Fraiser used his medication to track him down. (SG1: "Smoke and Mirrors")
- Epilepsy is a term used to describe a group of related neurological disorders, each with a different underlying cause, that exhibit a similar set of symptoms. Historically, these diseases have each been treated as the same disorder due to the similar symptomology, generally frequent seizures which can either be the result of an environmental cause (such as flashing lights) or can come about totally at random. The seizures can range widely from absence seizures to serious grand mal seizures.

| - Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. These seizures are transient signs and/or symptoms of abnormal, excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. About 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, with almost 90% of these people being in developing countries. Dr. Brent Langham suffered from epilepsy and Dr. Janet Fraiser used his medication to track him down. (SG1: "Smoke and Mirrors") Jean Miller suffered from epilepsy. When she was injected with Nanites from the Nanite medical program, Dr. Rodney McKay broke her legs, preventing the nanites from trying to fix her epilepsy. (SGA: "Miller's Crossing")
- Epilepsy was a medical condition causing sudden, randomly occurring bouts of seizures and unconsciousness, lasting from minutes to hours. Severe cases caused violent convulsions in which the sufferer was at risk of injuring themselves. It was one of a number of handicaps that randomly afflicted Grey Orions of any age, due to their genetic mutilation. Some affected Grey Orions, in stressful situations, could be also be driven into a convulsive rage in which they assaulted nearby persons or vandalized the environment. Afterwards, they fell into a deep sleep, and did not always remember their actions. (FASA RPG - The Orions module: Book of Deep Knowledge)

- Epilepsy is a term used to describe a group of related neurological disorders, each with a different underlying cause, that exhibit a similar set of symptoms. Historically, these diseases have each been treated as the same disorder due to the similar symptomology, generally frequent seizures which can either be the result of an environmental cause (such as flashing lights) or can come about totally at random. The seizures can range widely from absence seizures to serious grand mal seizures. Modern neurology has noted that the brain of an epileptic patient during a seizure seems to be in a state of overwhelming activity, which every part of the brain being active. Typically, the part of the brain focusing on a task is the only one that shows activity in either an EEG or a PET scan. Epilepsy is difficult to treat, but most patients can live fairly normal lives without suffering from frequent seizures. Generally, patients are given anti-convulsive medication to control the seizures. In some cases, the underlying cause can be treated, but this often requires brain surgery. In severe cases, the two halves of the cerebellum are separated to prevent overactive brain activity in one part of the brain from affecting the other half. However, this procedure often has serious cognitive side effects. Epilepsy is not unknown in children, and indeed many children who develop the disorder grow out of it once they grow older. However, doctors must be trained not to overdiagnose epilepsy. A common behavioral trait, gratification disorder, which is merely a misnomer for precocious masturbation, leads parents to believe their children are suffering seizure. As such it is usually important for a physician to attempt to induce a seizure to confirm a diagnosis of epilepsy before prescribing medication.
