Equipment: Perserverine compound (Drug)

A highly effective pain-killer used often by military physicians. Although it does not heal any concussion points of damage, Perserverine greatly reduces the user’s sensitivity to any pain for a period of six hours.

One very dangerous aspect of this drug is its high addiction factor. Any character who rolls such a result must succeed in a very hard (-20) static maneuver modified by Self Discipline. If the total achieved on this roll exceeds 100, the dosage will have to be doubled the next time Perserverine is taken [within a 30-day period].

If the total is 100 or lower, the character is physically dependent on the drug, and will feel hopeless and in pain whenever denied its effects. Such characters will suffer a -20 on all maneuvers attempted during withdrawal. This penalty will continue to apply until withdrawal is complete – thirty days later.

In our game this reduces the Concussion hits taken from any hit by 50%, stuns of 1 round are ignored and a bonus of +20% on resistance roll for other stuns.
