Radiation Burns Condition in The Great Dust Bowl | World Anvil

Radiation Burns


A small fission reaction takes place on your epidermis, causing severe burns due to radiation. This damage is so hot and fast that it tends to leave disfiguring scars on the unfortunate souls that have suffered from it. The part of you that has come in contact with the FEV takes 4cd of Radiation Damage with the Vicious Damage Effect. If a limb is crippled this way, it requires surgery or cybernetics to restore function to. If the head or torso are crippled, your character falls into a coma and must receive medical intervention to survive.


Treatment



  • Surgery- To survive having the head or torso burned by this extreme radiation an experienced physician and proper resources are required. Two doses of Radaway will be needed as well as a Super Stimpack. Have your doctor roll Intelligence + Medicine at Difficulty 3 to restore function, injecting the chems into the affected area directly. This can also be performed on limbs, and in either case prevent the initial Injuries that causes permanent disabilities but reduce the damage that causes future Injuries by one, (to a minimum of two). In the event this is a vital area, this surgery must be done within a total number of hours equal to your Endurance attribute or your character will suffer permanent consequences. In high difficulty campaigns this is intended to mean death, however creative GMs may allow you to recover but with severe detriments.
