Multiple Doses and Overdose:

● Each subsequent dose of a drug after the first during its duration will halve all beneficial
effects. Negative effects are not halved.

● If the total strength of combined drug doses is ever greater than 10 plus the characters
constitution modifier, the character suffers the effects all of the type of drug’s used
overdose effects shown below.

● Antibiotic: Severe nausea and diarrhea for 1d6 days.

● Anticoagulant: Extreme hemophilia will result in the case of anticoagulant overdose.

Even the smallest cuts (1 wound point damage or more) will bleed heavily, and the user
will suffer 1 wound point damage per turn until he exsanguinates or the wound is
stanched with a Wisdom(Medicine) check DC of 10.

● Antidote: Most antidotes are almost poisons in their own right, and anyone overdosing
on them will suffer the effects of minor poisoning. Treat this poisoning as the drug’s STR
in D6 poison damage. For example, overdosing on a +3 STR antidote would cause 3D6
damage to the user. This damage affects wound points directly.

● Aphrodisiac: The character’s sexual urges cannot be satisfied, and his state of arousal
will not diminish for up to several days or weeks.

● Attribute Increase: If an overdose occurs, roll 1d10. On a roll of 1-5, you have lost a point
from the attribute in question, permanently. Can be mended through expensive therapy,
+1 to Price DC and a day of time per points remaining to raise it back by 1(can’t go pass
the original number). Ex. A character permanently loses a point in Strength. He was at
 18 and has been reduced to 17. To restore the stat, he would have to do physical
therapy for a total of 17 days at a Wealth Check DC 17.

● Coagulant: Can cause blood to clot inside a healthy body, unavoidably causing death.
Make a death save with a DC of 10. Failure indicates death.

● Contraceptive: Roll 1d10. On a roll of 1, the user is sterile and cannot sire children.

● Depressant: Taking too many depressants will cause the character to make a
Constitution save DC 10 or slip into a deep sleep/coma for 1d10 hours.

● Enhanced Perception: Completely overwhelmed by his senses, and cannot perform any
actions. There is a 25% chance that he will suffer from terrible hallucinations.

● Euphoric: Makes you very sick, including nausea, cold sweats, and either sleeplessness
or sleepiness.

● Hallucinogen: Assume that the hallucinogenic “trip” goes completely bad. In the case of
extremely traumatic hallucinations, mental illness may result (ie, phobias, etc.).

● Hypnotic: Hypnotics, if taken in large doses, cause a deep anesthesia for 1d10 hours.

● Increased Endurance: Make a Constitution save DC 10. In the case of a failure, he

suffers from a heart attack, and must then make a death save DC 6 or die.

● Increased Healing Rate: The user enters a severe state of shock as the body attempts to
heal nonexistent wounds and injuries, and must make a death save DC 6 or die.

● Pain Negation: The user must make a successful Constitution save DC 6 or slip into a
coma for 1d10 hours.

● Soporific: We all know what happens when you take too many sleeping pills. You go to
sleep and never wake up. Assume that without proper treatment, someone who has
ODed on soporifics will die (no death save is given) or enter a deep coma which will last
for 1d10 days.

● Stun Reducer: In the case of most stun reducing drugs, an overdose will cause the user
to become extremely hostile and enter a psychotic rage akin to the side effect (see SIDE
EFFECTS).
