DIESEASE & TOXINS

DIESEASES

When exposed to a Diesease (method of exposure varies at ST disgression) make an exposure roll. This is a free action and only one success is required to succeed the exposure roll.

If you fail the exposure roll you have contracted the disease.

Take the full damage of the condition during the next interval.
Roll recovery during the next interval.
Suffer the conditions of the affliction during the next interval.
An interval is a time period / once per day / once per month/ once per year/ once per turn.
You will continue to accumulate damage until you have reached the recovery target.

NOTE: You can ONLY roll for recovery ONCE per interval. Your previous recovery roll successes for the affliction carry over.

You may heal damage inflicted as normal, however this damage returns the next interval until you have met the recovery target.

It is impossible to list all possible diseases that exist in real life, the below is a sampling. Storytellers may invent fictional diseases using the examples below, or create charts for things such as cholera and other real world diseases like chicken pox.

POISONS

Poisons follow the exact same rules as Diseases when it comes to exposure and recovery rolls.

Some poisons are measured doses without intervals (The damage occurs instantly per dose recieved)

UNDEAD are immune to poisons.

EXPOSURE TO POISONS

Unlike diseases in which exposure can come from many sources. Poisons enter the body via the following means.

GAS INHALATION: To inhale a poison the target must -breathe- and be standing inside an area of effect. (Gas masks offer protection) If both conditions are met the target must immediately make an Exposure roll. Typically the delivery for gas attacks is a grenade/bomb or other such contraption. Use the thrown object rules. (Dexterity + Athletics) Very occassionally (in the case of grenade launchers) such attacks can be made with firearm attacks.

VAPOUR INHALATION: Unlike gas inhalation, vapour inhalation is not an area effect attack but typically involved smothering a target with a vapour ladden cloth. This requires the attacker to attack the target with a BRAWL attack while carrying the dosed cloth. If the attack is successful the target takes no damage but makes an immediate exposure role. VICTIM has their DEFENCE stat increased by + 3 for such attacks.

INJECTION: The attacker makes a BRAWL attack while armed with a syringe. If successful the target takes no damage but must an immediate exposure roll. Note: Blow Darts and Dart guns can be used to make a -firearms- attack. Again no damage is caused by an immediate exposure roll is required. VICTIM has their DEFENCE stat increased by + 3 for such attacks.

CONSUMED: Poisons hidden in food and drink are among the oldest form of assassination known to human kind. Poisoner MUST make a WITS + LARCENY roll if they plan to introduce poison to food or drink that is in sight of the potential victim or witnesses. All witnesses may roll WITS + PERCEPTION and beat the score if they wish to spot the poisoning. Poisoner may poison food in private before hand unseen if they have unrestricted access to where the food is kept. (Example non staff can not enter the bar or kitchen or office of a particular building). In the case of unseen/unnoticed poisoning the victim makes an exposure roll as soon as they start to eat or drink the contaminated food/drink.

CONTACT POISON: Contact poisons are absorbed through the skin. Ancient kings and queens often found themselves gifted with poisoned garments and items of jewellery. In order for contact poison to work an item must be coated in it and the item itself must find itself against the skin of the victim. In cases where the poisoned item is a gift follow the same rules for consumed poisons, substituting food and drink for the item itself. Remember contact poison must be absorbed through the skin!, there is no point in poisoning furniture (Unless you can be sure someone will use it while naked) Also the poisoner would do well to remember to wear gloves or have a clear non poisoned way to access the poisoned item if they intend to gift it to someone. As with consumed poisons the victim makes an exposure roll when their skin comes into contact with the item. The other way to use contact poisons is to poison blades or sharp throwing weapons. In such a case the attacker makes a MELEE or THROWN ITEM attack against the target. Unless the target is armoured, standing clothing will offer no protection from exposure. Unlike other attacks using poisons , Damage from the melee or thrown object cause their standard damage in addition to forcing and exposure roll.

VENOMS

UNDEAD are immune to Venom

EXPOSURE TO VENOMS

Venoms are either delievered by a bite/claw/sting attack of the assoiciated creature or injected into a victim with syringe. Some venoms can be contact poisons.

NOTE : VENOMOUS ANIMAL ATTACKS

When the creature associated with the venom makes an attack using venom the victim suffers the damage caused by the brawl attack in addition to the venom damage.

This rule only applies to venomous creatures and supernatural creatures with -natural- venom abilities.

Characters using -harvested- venom follow the injection/contact poison rules.

Venom is very hard to come by. Some medical facilities have samples or stores of venoms for the purpose of creating anti-venom, though these venoms typically are of local species most likely to infect the general populous.

Needless to say it is unlikely that most characters will have access to these venoms, though some supernatural creatures are known to possess stingers or fangs capable of approximating some of these venoms. Most notably Kuei-Jin demon forms , Fallen Apocalyptic Forms and the Annansi Fera.

INJECTION: The attacker makes a BRAWL attack while armed with a syringe. If successful the target takes no damage but must an immediate exposure roll. Note: Blow Darts and Dart guns can be used to make a -firearms- attack. Again no damage is caused by an immediate exposure roll is required. VICTIM has their DEFENCE increased by + 3 for such attacks.

CONTACT POISON: Contact poisons are absorbed through the skin. Ancient kings and queens often found themselves gifted with poisoned garments and items of jewellery. In order for contact poison to work an item must be coated in it and the item itself must find itself against the skin of the victim. In cases where the poisoned item is a gift follow the same rules for consumed poisons, substituting food and drink for the item itself. Remember contact poison must be absorbed through the skin!, there is no point in poisoning furniture (Unless you can be sure someone will use it while naked) Also the poisoner would do well to remember to wear gloves or have a clear non poisoned way to access the poisoned item if they intend to gift it to someone. As with consumed poisons the victim makes an exposure roll when their skin comes into contact with the item. The other way to use contact poisons is to poison blades or sharp throwing weapons. In such a case the attacker makes a MELEE or THROWN ITEM attack against the target. Unless the target is armoured, standing clothing will offer no protection from exposure. Unlike other attacks using poisons , Damage from the melee or thrown object cause their standard damage in addition to forcing and exposure roll.

DRUGS

Drugs are usually self administrated
The drugs listed here do not inflict damage.
Only an exposure roll is made
An exposure roll is made once per dose (I.E 1 beer = 1 dose, I joint = 1 dose)
Recovery happens within a fixed time frame and no recovery roll or target is required.
Undead are immune to drugs
Vampires may experience the "Conditions" of the drug by drinking the blood of a human character experiencing them.
Drugs CAN cause addiction.

Drugs with an exposure difficulty of 14+ or higher are particularly potent and possibly addictive. A quck and dirty rule for covering drug addiction is as follows.

If you botch the exposure roll for a drug with an exposure difficulty of 14+ or greater you have become addicted to the particular drug. Please note that drug addiction is not only a chemical addiction but also a psychological one. Sometimes its the chemicals your body craves, sometimes its the experience the characters mind is addicted to.
