Withdrawal

Withdrawal is a status condition that the player character can acquire by becoming addicted to a substance and subsequently abstaining from consuming that particular type of substance. There are three phases of withdrawal:


 * 1) Mild Withdrawal: The character is suffering from mild effects of withdrawal. (Presence -1, Reaction -2)
 * 2) Withdrawal: The character is suffering from effects of withdrawal. (Presence -2, Reaction -4)
 * 3) Severe Withdrawal: The character is suffering from severe effects of withdrawal. (Presence -3, Reaction -6)

Types of Withdrawal
There are several types of withdrawal the character can acquire, depending on their drug of choice:


 * Alcohol
 * Amphetamine
 * Analgesic
 * Opium
 * Cocaine

How to Remove
Withdrawal can be removed by one of two methods:


 * 1) The character can choose to consume the drug to which they are addicted, causing the effects of withdrawal to abate for a time (the character may wish to visit Richter for assistance)
 * 2) The character can choose to ride it out, going cold turkey and enduring all three phases of withdrawal until it ends. Once passed the "Severe Withdrawal" phase, the character will no longer suffer from Addiction or Withdrawal
