i suppose that comes down the the Guts skill. the ex soldier shoud have 
say level 3, the accountant natch. i'd be hesitant about adding in 
additional stats for this - just wing it because eventually after much 
adventuring the accountant is going to be as adjusted as the soldier.

and just a quick comment on your point of the media-jaded 90's. sure, 
we've all seen horrific stuff on Tv - but if some freak came after me 
with a hockey mask & kitchen knife i think i'd wet myself just as 
quickly as a victorian counterpart. seeing things on TV & the media, and 
actually experiencing things are poles apart, IMNSHO :)
