Addiction

''You have become addicted to a substance. Under your current circumstances, this is the least of your worries.''

Addiction is a status condition that the player character can acquire by repeatedly consuming the same type of drug over a short span of time.


 * Addicted: The character suffers from addiction.

Becoming an Addict
There are several types of addiction the character can acquire, depending on their drug of choice. The higher the addiction rating of a given consumable item (Low, Medium, or High), the fewer amounts required to become addicted:


 * Alcohol
 * Amphetamine
 * Analgesic
 * Opium
 * Cocaine

The character's resistance to a given addiction is directly affected by their Will attribute rank. Higher Will makes for higher tolerance.

Recovering from Addiction
The only way for addiction to be removed is to ride it out, in which case the character must go through all three phases of Withdrawal. Alternatively, so long as the character has enough consumable drugs at hand, they may continue feeding their addiction without dire consequences.


 * The character can visit Richter at Richter's Drug Store as a means of securing more drugs while addicted
