Drugs

Drugs are toxins that you take on purpose and they run the gamut from beer to high-intensity performance and mood enhancers. They can have enormous effects on a character’s mood and personality. If a character gets high on street drugs, it shouldn’t be glossed over; roleplaying is encouraged. People on these drugs usually display dramatic changes in their behavior. Depending on the drug, they can become deliriously happy or catastrophically depressed. They can become sexually aroused, with or without an accompanying loss of inhibitions. They might become paranoid and enter a homicidal rage and sometimes, depending on the drug, they might just drop dead or unconscious.

Drugs have the same characteristics as toxins, which means when a drug is taken a subject must make a Toxin Resistance Test (Body + Willpower) versus the drug's Power. If a drug is reduced to 0, then no effects occur.

This does mean that larger characters with greater Body require more drugs and taking more than one dose at once increases the Power pool of the drug by +1 per additional dose.
