will become hooked on the chem, requiring them to take the chem on a daily basis.
An addiction roll is performed much like a skill roll, with the addiction chance
being the “skill level”. However, citizens want to fail addiction rolls, as
passing the addiction roll (to roll the addiction chance number or under) implies
that one has become addicted. To break the addiction, one must either not take
the chem for 30 days, or seek treatment from a very rare and expensive addiction
specialist. Each time an addicted citizen uses the drug, they must make the
addiction roll again. Each successful addiction roll adds another stackable level
of the addiction’s penalties. This is referred to as a Cumulative Effect, and
written as “C” next to chems with this addiction effect. Addiction also installs in
the citizen a psychological drive to continue using the drug. An addicted citizen
may be asked to make an Endurance roll to fight off these urges. This roll is at
a penalty of 1 if the citizen is presented with either a good excuse or an open
opportunity to take the chem and a penalty of 3 if both apply. Addiction penalties
cannot reduce a S.P.E.C.I.A.L. below 1. This is known as a Psychological Effect,
and is written as “Ps”.
