Street Drugs

Street Drugs are capable of providing powerful bonuses, but risk getting addicted to the drug in the long term. When you are dosed with one of these drugs, you are automatically affected by the drug's Primary Effect. When the Primary Effect wears off at the end of its duration, you will roll WILL+Resist Torture against the DV of the secondary effect, which are usually habit forming and addictive, until you receive therapy for the addiction. Taking multiple doses of a drug extends the primary effect by its full duration.
