Quirk

As you travel through the Darkest Dungeon your Characters will acquire certain Quirks, some of which are positive, some of which are negative. See a list below. PS. 7 is the maximum number of positive quirks or negative quirks. Getting an eighth positive or eighth negative quirk will cause a random existing quirk to disappear. Most heroes start with 2-3 quirks by default. For a list of Quirks, see below, for additional listings of negative interaction quirks, see the Characters page.
