MAGIC ADDICTION
Each time a warlock generates a magical effect,
his Brains attribute increases by +1; his Brains may
increase beyond 10 in this manner, with no up-
per limit. However, during the same period, his
physical attributes (Brawn, Smoothness, Build)
all decrease by 1, with an attendant drop in cor-
responding attributes. The effects of this last for
a period of time — called a “Debilitation Period”
— dictated by the level of the magical effect gen-
erated:

* This weapon is generally only available through the military. The price listed is its black market cost; use of them outside of
military hands is horrifically illegal.
** The listed number is the weapon’s range at which an attack may be made without penalty. The weapon’s maximum range is three
times the listed distance.
*** Many improvisational weapons also fall into this category. For example, pistol-whipping someone or hitting them with a roll of
nickels in your fist would both produce effects similar to using brass knuckles.
**** Shivs, broken bottles and other improvisational cutting weapons inflict damage like a knife but the TN to use them is +1.

vigor points. Additionally, every second day, a character may make a Build roll with a TN
of 6 to heal one wound. Characters with the Medical skill can aid the healing process.
Injured characters in a hospital or other facility automatically receive the benefits of a
successful Medicine skill check once each day.
