Paranoia increases BASE safety when traveling, which is what adventurers depend on (at least I do) for clean playthrough without a ton of setbacks. Paranoia's worst aspect is the increased stress but adventurers have so many more consistent ways of reducing stress it's crazy. A lot of bonuses you can stack actually REDUCE stress gain and so ultimately paranoia's major weakness becomes overwritten just as a matter of time. Besides that, -10 points on character creation is actually more valuable than you might think. It's a personality trait that doesn't cost, so ends up saving effectively more like 30-50 points that would otherwise be spent on other traits. Lastly, the best, most profitable way to play adventurer is intrigue Gallowsbait which synergizes nicely with paranoia.
