AFTERMATH
A native to the Vlacoth Union, Nicola Vradley created the Nuclear Force Core. Against the wishes of his home country, he shared this creation with the world citing it as "The gateway to the future of mankind." He was executed by firing squad for leaking state secrets.
It saved him from knowing his creation was the gateway to the end of mankind.
In the years after his death, the first Nuclear Force Power Plant was built in Drasmid, the rival on the world stage for the Vlacoth Union. There was a hurried attempt to match this display of civil engineering in the Union and it did not take long before Vlacoth had it's own power plant. Drasmid continued development, making adjustments for fuel efficiency and switching from the incredibly unstable fuel type under the belief they could create a safe atomic future. Despite their best efforts to come, events were already set in motion.
The Vlacoth Union injected its nuclear research into the military sector, insisting that through a show of power and force the union could command the world stage. This shook leaders of Drasmid and soon fear began to spread amongst the populace. Citizens of Drasmid feared agents of the 'Red Tyrant' Vlacoth Union would steal them in the night, that the neighbors they lived and worked beside plotted against their country. Propaganda flourished in both countries and each made promises that they could destroy the other. The Colden War had begun.
Two decades pass, Drasmid building its arsenals in technology and aircraft while the Vlacoth Union remained shrouded in state secrets and dark mysteries. The turning point came in this cold war when the accidental detonation of an experimental weapon in the Vlacoth Union was captured by Drasmid spy planes.
It was not the detonation of a normal warhead, rather, a weapon that could fit inside a human. These aptly named "Mechanically Weaponized Organisms" hid in plain sight and stolen documents revealed they could detonate reliably at 25 megatons. Drasmid needed to play catch up.
However, unlike the Vlacoth Union, Drasmid refused to conduct humanoid testing and opted instead to utilize its resources in the tech field to create a Synthetice that could pass off as humanoid and still detonate at similar scales. The Core Feud was officially underway.
These weapons, on both sides of the curtain, grew increasingly more destructive. Drasmid intelligence uncovered projects in the Vlacoth Union that included the development of modular tanks that could walk on two legs. Spies of the Vlacoth Union also revealed that Drasmid had its own military projects such as unmanned warplanes that could deploy at a moments notice and remain unseen till just over their targets. Despite these inventions, it was the fear that Cores were being built that could recharge and had detonation ranges upwards of 100 megatons that kept the possibility of the two countries invading each other at bay.
Eventually the strained peace between the Vlacoth Union and Drasmid fractured. Known as the End War, Armageddon did not happen gracefully. It was violent and merciless.
That was hundreds of years ago; now what is left is a wasteland where radiation seeps from the ground, acid rain falls from the sky, and the last shreds of life soak in despair.

The World as You Remember It
State of the World
Before Armageddon two of the worlds strongest powers, Drasmid and the Vlacoth Union, were locked in a geopolitical tension similar to that of the United States and the Soviet Union between 1947-1991. Known as the Colden War it was a race for nuclear supremecy where Drasmid focused on counterintelligence and the Vlacoth Union aimed for shear power. While the United States and the Soviet Union never escalated beyond proxy wars, Drasmid and the Vlacoth Union inevitably went after each other.
Much of the technology up to this point in time is reminiscent of the analog technologies of the late 1900s with an atomic/nuclear twist. It was not uncommon to have a car that ran on nuclear fission while radio plays were still an everyday enjoyment. Architecture differed between the two world powers with Soviet Modernist Architecture being found throughout the Vlacoth Union and a Bungalow or Midcentury Modern in Drasmid.
In terms of society, Drasmid can be considered closer to peak 1960s-70s Capitalist United States while the Vlacoth Union reminiscent of late Soviet Union. Both countries are guilty of propaganda to their masses. Drasmid ran multiple campaigns preaching on the dangers of not perfoming normally for society and there was a general air of paranoia throughout the country and mistrust between neighbors. The Vlacoth Union had the military enforcement of the Virelov [Vlacoths's version of the Kremlin] and through multiple parades of weapons aimed to demonstrate to its populace that the goverment could protect its citizens.
The history of Drasmid is similar to that of Great Britain where multiple bands of nomads slowly built up around religion, a monarchy was briefly formed but gave way to a parliament based governing body as it embraced more capitalistic ideologies. The Vlacoth Union had rockier beginnings with bringing multiple smaller countries into its fold long before the events of the Colden War. These smaller monarchies battled often for control over the whole region and it was not until the Chernenko Soviet Revolution in xx17 that The Vlacoth Union became what it is.
During the Colden War, Drasmid's international policies tried to limit the use of highly radioactive and unstable materials and it created a number of blockades in an effort to prevent the Vlacoth Union from gaining a nuclear advantage. These sanctions only strengthened the dependancy of Vlacoth Union allies and increased the amount of resources the Vlacoth Union had access to. On the international stage, the Vlacoth Union attempted to play nice with Drasmid while behind the curtain plotted revenge.
It is difficult to pin point who made the first move, but it is widely regarded as both Drasmid and the Vlacoth Unions fault the world ended.

Your Character
Stats
Your character will have four primary Stats that affect the outcome of events througout Aftermath. They are VIGOR, FORTITUDE, MIND and CHARM. At the start of your campaign you will determine the values of each of these stats by rolling a d6 for each.
d6 | Value |
---|---|
1 | -2 |
2 | -1 |
3 | 0 |
d6 | Value |
---|---|
4 | 1 |
5 | 2 |
6 | 3 |
Over the course of the game you wil be able to improve these stats, eventually maxing each of them out at +6. These moments of improvement are called OPPORTUNITIES. Some examples include:
- Your character demonstrates natural growth over the narrative
- Completing a training regiment or practicing the stat
- A quest line reward
- Item or Armor [temporary]
- Every 3 Levels
When to use the stats
Depending on what the action is, players will determine which is the best Stat to use for the given situation. They will roll a d20 for general outcome then add their Stat. For example, if the player wants to lift a boulder they will roll a d20 then add their VIGOR stat to the roll as it is a physical task to receive their total. Success and failure may vary depending on the complexity of the feat or challenge but will often be broken down as such:
d20 | Outcome | |
---|---|---|
1 | Absolute Failure | Something backfires, goes wrong or otherwise doesn't happen, usually catastrophically. You do not add your Stat to a 1 |
2-7 | Failure | While you don't succeed in the task, you do learn something about it. |
8-13 | Mixed Failure | It doesn't entirely succeed and there is often some form of trade off. |
14-19 | Mixed Success | You do what you set out to do but there are small side effects to your action. |
20 | Absolute Success | You accomplish what you want with no repercussions. |
VIGOR
VIGOR is the stat that determines how strong or agile your character is. If they have a high VIGOR you will be more likely to lift a boulder than a character that has low VIGOR. This will also effect your Evasion.
FORTITUDE
FORTITUDE is the stat that determines whether or not your character can handle a situation. How well does your character handle disturbing events, radiation, etc. If you have a high FORTITUDE you will be more likely to survive food poisoning than a character that has low FORTITUDE. It does add a slight bonus to your Health.
MIND
MIND is the stat that determines how well your character uses information or remembers it. If your character has high MIND, then they are more likely to know some obscure fact or intuit information from the environment than a character with low MIND.
CHARM
CHARM is the stat that affects how your character interacts with other people. If your character has high CHARM, they will find interrogating another individual far easier than a character that has low CHARM. Think of this stat as how well your character communicates with others.
Health and Evasion
The world of Aftermath is an unforginving place, be it the Hazards that make staying alive difficult, or the many enemies one is bound to encounter. Both in and out of Combat, Health and Evasion are critical to knowing where your limits are.
Health
Every player starts at Level 1 with a base 10 Health + FORTITUDE and at every level increase players will roll a d6 to add to their total Health pool. For example, if a player starts the game with a +2 FORTITUDE they will have a total health pool of 12. At level 2 they will increase it by a d6.
Regenerating Health
There is no passive regeneration back to full health like the "Full Rest" function from Dungeons and Dragons. Instead, characters must use the items they have on hand to tend to their injuries. This may include using Medicines, attemping medical procedures, or seeking a professional to aid them. If a characters injuries are light enough, they may Rest in a safe location. When chosing to Rest so long as the characters current health is above half of their total health pool, they will roll half of their current level in d6 to determine the amount regained. This Rest must take place in a safe location such as an inn or house where enemies are not likely to attack.
Critical Condition
Health will not calculate into the negatives and disregard additional damage beyond hitting zero. Instead, when a character health does reach zero, they will be knocked into Critical Condition and are considered unconscious and unable to make decisions. If in combat, they will be knocked prone in the Bloc they occupy and cannot perform Actions on their turns or access their Inventory. Other players can assist their fallen comrade during this time by providing medical care if able, the effects of which will add to the Last Wind roll.
Last Wind
When a player character is reduced to zero health, they must begin making Last Wind rolls with a d20. They will make three in total and must suceed on two of them to receive 1 health and regain consciousness. A success is deemed as an 11 or higher on the dice, and a failure is a 10 or lower.
In the event a roll is a failure, the player can describe what would give their character a Last Wind. If it is deemed sufficient by the DM as a Last Wind, the player can re-roll once more in an attempt to pass the roll. This bid can only be performed once per day.
Evasion
Evasion is similar in that every player starts with a base 10 Evasion + VIGOR. However, Evasion can only be improved by equipping items and armor or using Medicine. It is used to determine how capable your character is at dodging attacks or maneuvering around the field while in combat, and how agile your character is outside of combat.
Inventories
The world of Aftermath is filled with a myriad of collectables be it weapons or scrap. Each player has two inventories: a Primary Inventory and an Equipment Inventory. These inventories play different rolls during the game with certain items moving between them.
The Primary Inventory
The Primary Inventory is used for the storage of anything and everything the player has picked up. It consists of 20 slots that, unless otherwise specified, allow for the stacking of items. A full stack cannot exceed a quantity of 99 of any particular item. There are some collectables such as the Med Kit which allow more than one type of item to be stacked into a slot.
Items can be moved from the Primary Inventory to the Equipment Inventory at any time outside of combat, but once Combat is entered, it costs an Action to do so.
The Equipment Inventory
The Equipment Inventory is slightly more complex than the Primary Inventory as it pertains to all items prepared for combat. It is broken up into subcategory slots.
Equipment Inventory Slots
Name | Purpose | Slot Count |
---|---|---|
HEAD | Equip any head armour or face mask | 1 |
BODY | Equip any full suit or body armour part. | 1 |
GLOVES | Equip any set of gloves or arm bracer | 1 |
BOOTS | Equip any set of boots or leg greaves | 1 |
WEAPON | Equip any wepaon for use in combat | 3 |
EXPLOSIVES | Equip any number of explosives for use in combat | 3 |
AMMO | Stores any ammunition for use in any weapon type | 5 |
REMOUNT SOCKET† | Equips any Remount Mod. Note: Must be installed by a 'professional'. See Collectables | 1 |
Ammunition will automatically be stored in the Equipment Inventory and will always consist of the five ammo types: Handgun, Rifle, Mortar Shell, Grenade, Anti-Armour.
† Players do not start with a Remount Socket they must find a 'Professional' to install one in game. See Collectables: Remount Socket
The Heavy Tag
While weight is not calculated in Aftermath, some items have a "Heavy Tag". Items with the Heavy Tag are usually cumbersome or too large to fit conventionally on a person and so require some effort to carry. Due to this, there can only be one item with the Heavy Tag per inventory for a total of 2 Heavy Tags. If a player is carrying a Heavy Tag item in combat, their movement will be restricted by one Bloc per Heavy Tag.
Equipment
To survive in Aftermath, you will need to protect yourself from not only the creatures that dwell in the radiation, but the elements as well. Armor comes in Four [4] categories, Head, Body, Gloves, and Boots and are stored in the Primary Inventory unless Equipped and moved to the Equipment Inventory. This section is broken down by the categories.
Head
The Head slot carries one item at a time and can accommodate Equipment such as masks and helmets.

Items found throughout Aftermath, they can be salvaged, craftd with, traded, or trashed. In any case, they are all valuable to someone and if one survivor has no use for it, another does. They are separated into their three categories: Key Items, Items, and Junk.
Key Items
These are important items that are hard to find and even harder to trade. They can be used a number of times and do not break.

Combat
The Combat Grid
Combat in Aftermath is based on a grid system with a varying number of grid sections on either side of it. The grid for combat can change in size depending on the situation but will be no smaller than 3x6 and no larger than 16x32. The standard human enemy occupies one Bloc while larger enemies may take up more.
Grid Breakdown
Front Line
The Front Line is the centre line separating the player side and the enemy side. Once a round of combat starts, combatants can cross the Front Line freely so long as movement allows.
Sides
The Left of the Front Line is the starting Blocs for the players while the Right side is for enemies. In the event of an Ambush, the combatants initiating the attack will be able to choose their starting positions from either side.
Enemy Territory†
If a combatant crosses the Front Line they are considered in Enemy Territory and receive a -1 debuf to their Evasion stat while in Enemy Territory.
Blocs
Each grid square, known as a Bloc is equivalent to 5 square feet of space and while only one combatant can occupy it at a time, certain combat items and tools may overlap. When moving, combatants can pass through an occupied Bloc but may not stop in one.
Grid Occupants
Obstacles
Obstacles are either combatant set up barricades or environment factors that take up one or more Bloc. Depending on their size, the occupying Bloc may be traversed but this may take an action to accomplish. Compatants can choose to hide behind these Obstacles during combat which adds to their Evasion. There are three types of Obstacles
Half Obstacle
A Half Obstacle is an Obstacle that can be easily navigated over and does not require an Action to do so. If between an attacking Combatant and Target, a Half Obstacle provides +1 to Evasion.
Full Obstacle
Unlike a Half Obstacle, a Full Obstacle cannot be easily navigated over and typically requires the use of an Action to do so. It does provide +2 to Evasion if between a Combatant and Target.
Complete Obstacle
A Complete Obstacle is an Obstacle that completely occupies the bloc and does not allow movement through it. Combatants must go around it. However, it does provide +3 to Evasion if between Combatant and Target.
Traps
Traps are combatant crafted that can include grenades, landmines or other throwables will trigger when a compatant passes through the Bloc they are set.
Combat Flow
Combat is broken up into Rounds wherein each combatant will have a Turn to complete three Actions. When all combatants have finished their Turns and any Triggers have been resolved, a new Round will begin.
Starting Combat
To begin Combat, combatants will roll a d20 to determine their order of go. From highest to lowest they will decide their starting position on the grid. Players will all start on the left of the Front Line while enemies will always start on the right. In the event of an Ambush, the combatants initiating the attack will decide on the starting positions of all combatants and have free range of the grid.
Ambush
An Ambush is when a combatant has the upper hand in initiating combat. This can be if a combatant sneaks up on an enemy or attacks when the target is unaware.
Rounds
Rounds consist of combatant Turns and are not considered over until all combatants have completed their turns and any Triggers have been resolved.
Turn
A Turn is comprised of a Challenge Evasion roll and three Actions.
Challenge Evasion Roll
Before any actions are taken, a combantant will roll a d20 + MIND to challenge the Evasion of any targets they may have during their Turn. This value is kept regardless of if the combatant attacks and is valid even if the combatant changes targets.
If a 1 is rolled, the combatant has one of two options: Lose an Action or Take a Hard Move. If a 20 is rolled, the combatant gains another Action.
Take A Hard Move
By Taking a Hard Move the Combatant keeps all three of their Actions but the DM will adjust the outcome of the Chosen Actions. An example might be not fully reloading a weapon or tripping when moving Blocs.
Actions
Once the Challenge Evasion roll is made, the combatant may perform up to three Actions as described in the table on the following page.
Advanced Action
Be it dismantling Obstacles and Traps or loading a complicated weapon, an Advanced Action is one the combatant freely decides and is performed at the cost of all three normal Actions.
Triggers
Triggers are items and traps that activate at the end of the round rather than on a combatant Turn or when traveled over. All Triggers must be resolved before starting the next Round.
Health and Death
In the event that an Evasion Challenge beats a combatants Evasion, the target combatant will take damage according to the stats of the weapon used. Health will not calculate into the negatives and disregard additional damage beyond hitting Zero. When a combatants health does reach zero, they will be considered in Critical Condition and can no longer perform Actions on their turns. Non-Player enemies, if knocked into Critical Condition, will be considered defeated and removed from Combat. Player Characters will be made prone in the Bloc they occupy and instead of an Evasion Challenge roll, will perform Last Wind.
Critical Condition
Once a player is knocked into Critical Condition they can no longer use their three actions on their turn. However, other players can assist their fallen comrade during this time by using the Assist an Ally Action. They can move them to a safer Bloc, apply first aid using medicines to add a +2 to the Last Wind roll, or attempt to stabilize them in some way as an Advanced Action which adds a +5.
Last Wind
When a player character is reduced to zero health, they must begin making Last Wind rolls. On each subsquent turn, the character will roll a d20 as they would for the Evasion Challenge. If the roll is 11 or higher it is considered a success whereas if the roll is 10 or lower it is a failure. If the character fails two of the rolls, they die. If the character succeeds on two of the rolls they receive 1 health and can perfom actions once again on their turn. They will remain prone, adding +3 to their Evasion until the player decides to stand.
In the event a roll is a failure, the player can describe what would give their character a Last Wind. If it is deemed sufficient by the DM as a Last Wind the player can re-roll once more in an attempt to pass the roll. This bid can only be performed once per day.
Actions
MOVE SOMEWHERE | Combatants can only move in the cardinal directions and cannot travel between Blocs diagonally. A standard human combatant with no Heavy Tags will have 4 Blocs of movement. |
ATTACK A TARGET | Combatant will compare their Challenge Evasion roll outcome to the targets Evasion stat. If the Challenge Evasion roll is higher than the Evasion, the attack will land and do damage, if it is equal to or less than, it misses entirely. Attacks cannot pass through Full or Complete Obstacles. |
RELOAD A WEAPON | Certain weapons in Aftermath, such as guns, require specific ammunition and need to be reloaded after a certain number of uses. As long as the combatant has the appropriate ammunition in their Equipment Inventory, they may reload their weapon. |
BRACE FOR IMPACT | Combatant prepares for an incoming attack. Without an Obstacle occupying the Bloc in front of them, Brace For Impact adds +1 to their Evasion while having an Obstacle in the Bloc in front of the combatant adds +2 to Evasion. |
ROOT THROUGH INVENTORY | Allows a combatant to exchange anything between their Primary Inventory and their Equipment Invnetory. |
USE AN ITEM | Allows a combatant to use an item stored in either inventory such as Medicine or an Explosive |
TAKE AIM | Combatant hones their aim and adds +2 to their Challenge Evasion at the cost of not being able to Move Somewhere after this action. |
SET TRAP | Items in the combatants inventory allowing, combatants can set Traps or Triggers in the current Bloc they are occupying. |
CREATE BARRICADE | Items in the combatants inventory allowing, combatants can set up an Obstacle in any of the Blocs directly contacting their current Bloc. |
ASSIST AN ALLY | If an ally combatant is planning an Advanced Action on their Turn or is in Critical Condition a combatant can offer their help and assist in some way. |
LAY PRONE | A combatant can choose to lay Prone to receive a +3 to their Evasion at the cost of reducing their movement to only 1 Bloc. |
CONVERSE | A combatant can openly converse with their allies, or make a CHARM Challenge and attempt to speak with a capable target. |
JUMP | A combatant can jump over a single Bloc. If the Bloc is occupied by a Lingering Radius the Combatant is subject to the effects. Jumping over a Bloc does not trigger Traps. |
Range
Every weapon in Aftermath has a useful range where it will hit reliably and do full damage. There are three ranges, Melee, Mid, and Distance. Depending on the weapon, if it is outside its useful range, the attack will either miss or damage is halfed.
Melee Range
Melee Range is defined as any Bloc immediately touching the Combatants current one, or anything within 5 feet. Any weapon or item marked with Melee Range is useless beyond its range and attacks will miss. It is most commonly used for Blades and Hammers.
Mid Range
Mid Range is defined as any Bloc within 25 feet of the combatant. This includes Blocs immediately touching the combatants current one. Weapons marked for use in Mid Range will have their damaged halfed if used to attack outside of their range. Most guns will fall within this classification.
Distance Range
Distance Range is defined as any Bloc beyond 10 feet of the combatant but within 100 feet. This excludes Blocs immediately touching the combatants current one. Weapons marked for use in Distance range will miss if used to attack beyond their 100 foot range while their damage is halfed if used to attack anything in the immediate Blocs surrounding the combatant. It is most commonly used for Rifles and some Heavy Guns.
Throwables
As long as the item is not marked with a Heavy Tag, it can be considered Throwable. Throwables can be tossed in any direction a distance equal to the combatants movement.
Radius
Throwables and special attacks will often have a Blast Radius or Effect Radius. This may be in a straight line, or a cluster depending on the weapon or effect. Weapons with a Radius do not cause damage outside of said radius unless otherwise specified.
Line Radius
A number of different weapons and attacks utilize a Line Radius in which damage is caused to any Combatant within a straight line of Blocs.
Cluster Radius
Most Throwables will cause damage in a Cluster Radius. Anything, Combatant or otherwise, within the amount of Blocs specified by the weapon will receive damage. The Combatant using the wepaon determines which Blocs are affected so long as they meet the requirements of the weapon. For example, a Combatant cannot choose Blocs outside of their throwable range if they are using a Throwable.
Lingering Radius
Typically paired with a Hazard Type, a Lingering Radius remains active on the Combat Grid for a period of time. It can be traversed through but the combatant that does so will be subject to its effect.
Hazard Types
Weapons and traps pose hazards throughout Aftermath, but there are environmental dangers as well. Below are the six Hazard Types and while they are most commonly the results of dangerous environments, there are certain weapons -and peoples- that can cause these damage types.
Radiation
One of the most prevalent hazards is Radiation, the ground is soaked in it after all. Radiation inflicts direct damage to the player's health but its intensity is affected by FORTITUDE. It's damage will slowly drain health and if there is a significant amount in an area, can completely prevent the ability to regain health until that area has been left. A number of sources can inflict radiation but it can be mitigated with Medicines like the Iodine Tablets or resisted with items such as a Hazmat Suit.
Effect
Direct damage to players health over time, while exposed to high levels players cannot heal or regain health.
Gas
Gas hazards inflicts direct damage to the player's health but is reduced by the amount of FORTITUDE a characer has. It is similar to Radiation in the sense that it will slowly drain a player's health but differs in that it will never impede the ability to regain health. It will, however, have a chance to poison the player in which the effects of Gas linger even after leaving the source. It can be treated with Medicines like Detox and resisted by wearing items such as a Ventilation Mask.
Effect
Direct damage to players health over time and can cause lingering damage long after exposure.
Heat
Ignoring FORTITUDE, Heat inflicts damage directly to the player's health but does so in intervals. The player is able to endure short periods of time while exposed to Heat but will start to take significant damage after some time depending on its intensity. While subject to Heat, the player's Challenge Evasion roll will be reduced by -3. It cannot be treated with Medicines but can be resisted by equipping items such as a Thermal-Plastic Suit.
Effect
Periodic damage to players health while exposed and Challenge Evasion Roll is reduced by -3.
Cold
Cold functions in a similar way to Heat where it ignores FORTITUDE and inflicts damage directly to the players health in intervals after certain periods of time. Unlike Heat, however, Cold affects a player's Evasion and while subject to Cold Evasion will be reduced by -3. It cannot be treated with Medicines but can be resisted by equipping items such as a Mylar Suit.
Effect
Periodic damage to players health while exposed and Evasion is reduced by -3.
Detonation
The second most common hazard in Aftermath, Detonation is an instant amount of significant damage directly targeting the players health. It often has Knockback and will push the character away from the source of Detonation. It cannot be treated with Medicines and there is no true way to resist Detonation type damage, only lessen it's effects by utilizing baricades or equipping items like a Shielding Suit.
Effect
Instant Significant damage to players health and will push character away from the source.
Electrical
Electrical hazards instantly inflict small amounts of damage to the players health. While it may deal minimal damage, it has a high chance of Shock which will prevent a character from performing an Action or Moving depending on the situation. It can be resisted by equipping items such as the Rubber Suit but there are no Medicines that can prevent this hazard.
Effect
Instant Minimal damage to players health but can Shock character
Barricades
Barricades are Obstacles that players can carry with them and deploy in an open Bloc during combat as a Create Barricade action. The effect is only valid if the Barricade is between the source of the damage and the target of the damage. They often fall under the Half Obstacle and Full Obstacle types and their occupying Bloc can be traversed through unless otherwise specified.

Medicine
Medicine is an important factor both in and out of combat. During Combat certain meds can keep a combatant alive, save one from the brink of death or tremendously buff attacks to turn the tides of the battle. Keep in mind, however, these drugs often don't follow strict manufacturing rules and many have adverse side effects to prologued use.
† Note: the mechanics of this article are subject to change as it is seen/demonstrated in play.
Side Effects
Side Effects are caused by repeatedly Overdosing. With each drug come a variety of side effects and while specific drugs may be known for a few, there is always a chance the ingestee can suffer a different Side Effect.
These Side Effects do not come into effect until the effect of the medication wears off. Side Effects last for 24 hours, but a FORTITUDE save will cancel the Side Effect.
Overdosing †
By taking a variety of Medicines within a 24 hour period, one can overdose. Your overdose limit is determined by your FORTITUDE.
Side Effects
Status | Effect |
---|---|
Nausea | FORT. rolls are at disadvantage |
Lethargy | VIGOR rolls are at disadvantage |
Dizziness | Cannot perform the Take Aim or Brace for Impact Actions in Combat |
Insomnia | MIND rolls are at disadvantage |

Hangover | CHARM rolls are at disadvantage |
Black Out | The result of drinking far too much Alcohol. You pass out drunk for 3 hours and are unable to do anything for the duration. On waking you suffer from Hangover. |
Addiction and Withdrawal †
Addiction and Withdrawal are caused by repeatedly overdosing on medications. Both are canceled by taking the same medication as what caused the initial addiction. After the effects of the medication however, Addiction kicks in again. After Addiction has timed out, Withdrawal may kick in. Both cannot be canceled by FORTITUDE saves. To cancel either requires Detox (or in Addiction's case, waiting the 24 hours).
Addiction †
Roll 1d4, this determines which stat is effected by addiction; the next 3 saves/rolls of that stat are at disatvantage or until the 24 hours is up.
Addiction lasts for 24 hours or until next medication use. Can be canceled by Detox.
Withdrawal †
Initiated after the 24 hour period of Addiction, your next 3 saves/rolls of any type will have disadvantage. Your Evasion will drop by 2 and your health will temporarily drop by 1d6 per day you suffer from Withdrawal going no lower than 5.
Withdrawal lasts 72 hours in game or until next medication use. Can be canceled by Detox.
