DRUGS

Chem kit: Unique :A briefcase gene-locked to the User. It contains an assortment of drugs, each at 3 doses. Between missions the briefcase can be turned into the Inquisition to be completely refilled for free. They include:

frenZon
Frenzon is a term for a number of combat drugs used in conscript
and assault forces, especially in penal legions. A dose creates a
fanatical and fearless state, leaving the user ready to fight any foe,
no matter how suicidal it may seem.
A character using frenzon gains the Frenzy talent and
immediately becomes Frenzied. These effects last for the duration
of the drug; a single dose of which lasts for 1d10 minutes. Frenzon
is Addictive.

slaught
This combat drug (also known as onslaught) is frequently taken
to heighten awareness and improve reaction time. It literally speeds
up the user, but causes neural and physiological damage with
prolonged application.
Taking a dose increases the user’s Agility bonus and Perception
bonus by 3 for 2d10 minutes. Note this does not increase the
actual characteristic values. When the drug runs its course, the
user must pass a Challenging (+0) Toughness test or suffer a –20
penalty to Agility tests and Perception tests for 1d5 hours. Slaught
is Addictive.

stimm
A dose of stimm is enough to
energise the weary and mask
pain with short-term vitality,
often enough to finally bring
a protracted combat to a
successful conclusion. Each
dose lasts for 3d10 rounds.
During this time, a character
ignores any negative effects to
his characteristics from damage,
Critical damage, and Fatigue,
and cannot be Stunned. When
the stimm wears off, the character
suffers a –20 penalty to Strength,
Toughness, and Agility tests for one
hour and gains one level of Fatigue.
Stimm is Addictive.

sPook
A highly-proscribed drug, spook creates and augments that
most hazardous of effects: psychic abilities. Even the briefest
of connections to the Warp and the Ruinous Powers that dwell
within can allow daemonic incursions or worse, but in desperate
instances, even these horrific effects are brushed aside.
If a character without any psy rating takes a dose of this
drug, he must successfully make a Challenging (+0) Willpower
test or gain 1d5 Insanity points due to his mind being filled with
terrifying visions of the Warp. If he succeeds, the user gains a
psychic power from Table 5–16: Spook Effects (see descriptions in
Chapter VI: Psychic Powers). The power lasts for 1d5 hours, and
the user makes all Focus Power tests during this time as
if he had a psy rating of 1.
If a character with a psy rating of 1 or more
uses spook, he must make a Challenging (+0)
Willpower test. If he fails, he gain 1 Insanity
Point and the drug has no further
effects. If he passes, he adds 1
to his psy rating for the next
hour. However, add +25 to
rolls he makes on Table
6–2: Psychic Phenomena
(see page 196).
Spook is Addictive,
and depending on the setting,
its mere possession can incur
intense and even lethal punishment
from local authorities.

Blood Rage
A Dark Eldar who imbibes this drug gains the Unnatural
Strength (1d5) and Brutal Charge (5) traits.

Speed of Thought
A Dark Eldar who imbibes this drug counts as rolling a 10
on all Initiative rolls and increases the value of his Unnatural
Agility trait by 1d5.

Enhanced Metabolism
A Dark Eldar who imbibes this drug gains the Regeneration
(4) and Undying traits.

Eternal Hatred
A Dark Eldar who imbibes this drug grants his
melee attacks the Vengeful (7) quality

1 Dose Spur, A common drug for those who live by the sword,
spur infuses the user with boundless energy until
he feels ready to tackle any situation. The
powerful stimulant increases reaction times
and overall stamina for a short period, with the inevitable crash
of depression and weariness following soon after. Each dose lasts
2d10 minutes, during which the user cannot be Stunned and
takes no Fatigue. Afterwards, however, the character takes a –20
Penalty for Toughness and Agility Tests for one hour, as well as
one Fatigue level for every two they would have received while
the drug was active. If used more than five times in a week long
period, the user must make a Hard (–20) Willpower Test, or
ingest the drug daily as he becomes addicted.

1 Dose Mortis
MORTIS (DRUG)
Mortis acts to shut down metabolic processes to a near death
level, rendering the user a corpse to all but the most dedicated
of examiners. Users who have taken Mortis are so near death
for the following 4d10 minutes that any Tests to determine the
user’s status suffer a –30 penalty, with failure indicating the
user is dead. Good Craftsmanship doses can be administered
so the user can specify how long they last (up to 1 hour), while
Poor doses only offer a –10 penalty to Tests.

1 Doses Wideawake, A simple drug made in numerous styles from many different
ingredients, Wideawake acts to ward off feelings of drowsiness
and keeps the user alert for many hours beyond his normal
limit. While multiple doses will keep the user awake even
longer, once the effects wear off the resulting collapse will
last much longer and lead to feelings of listlessness for
several days. Wideawake allows the user to stay awake and
alert, ignoring one level of Fatigue for 1d5 hours. Additional
doses prolong the affect, but do not counteract more than
one Fatigue level. fter the drug wears off the user suffers an
additional level of Fatigue.

1 dose of either two (Manic, Barrage, Satrophine, Sweep)
Barrage (Drug)
Barrage enhances the users physical abilities to super-human
levels for a short period of time but rapidly causes damage to
the strained flesh.
Effects: The Heretic gains Unnatural Strength (5) and
Unnatural Toughness (5) for a number of rounds equal to his
base Toughness Bonus.
Side Effects: Once the effect has worn, off the Heretic
suffers 1d5 temproary Strength and Toughness Damage and
becomes Stunned for 1d5 rounds.

Manic (Drug)
A favourite of depraved princelings, Manic induces exactly
the emotional state its name suggests. Feelings and sensations
become exaggerated and uncontrolled as the user feels a sense
of boundless energy.
Effects: The Heretic adds +30 to any Willpower Tests,
ignores Fatigue, and cannot be Stunned or Pinned. These
effects last for 3d10 minutes.
Side Effects: Once the drug wears off, the Heretic falls
unconscious for 1d5 hours unless he can pass a Hard (–20)
Toughness Test.

Satrophine (Drug)
Satrophine is a tremendously powerful drug that enhances
the user’s reflexes, strength, and endurance, but does so at a
dire cost. Most users become shells of their former selves, and
some believe that the Vortex itself drains the user’s soul as
they slip deeper and deeper into Satrophine addiction.
Effects: The Heretic gains +30 to Agility, Perception,
Strength, and Toughness Tests for 1 hour.
Side Effects: Heretics addicted to Satrophine do not gain
Fatigue from withdrawal. Instead they gain 1d5 Corruption
points every day until they take their next dose.

Sweep (Drug)
Sweep is a bizarre chemical commonly used to cure addiction
to other drugs. Ironically, Sweep is itself quite addictive, and
dulls the senses of those who consume it.
Effects: A single dose of Sweep allows the Heretic to
remove any addictions he currently has. Note it does not
eliminate any other side effects a drug may impart.
Side Effects: The Heretic suffers –10 to all Agility and
Perception Tests for 1d5 hours. Sweep addictions are twice as
hard to remove than other addictions. Sweep cannot be used
to cure an addiction to Sweep.

de-toX
De-tox can negate most of the dangerous effects of other drugs
or toxins. A dose immediately ends the effects, both positive and
negative, for any chemicals the subject has inhaled, ingested, or
injected, unless the item specifically states de-tox cannot work
against it. Its use is extremely unpleasant, however, with common
side-effects so extreme (excessive vomiting and diarrhoea being the
mildest) that many would rather abide their current woes.
Using de-tox, however, is both painful and debilitating, and
can cause several unpleasant side effects such as vomiting, nose
bleeds, and a great voiding of the bowels. Upon taking this drug, a
character is Stunned for a number of rounds equal to 1d10 minus
his Toughness bonus. A result of 0 or less means that the character
suffers no ill effects.
