Irritating Conditions

Coughing or Sneezing: You are at -3
to DX and -1 to IQ, and cannot use
Stealth.
Drowsy: You are on the verge of
falling asleep. Make a Will roll every
two hours you spend inactive. On a
failure, you fall asleep, and sleep until
you are awakened or get a full night’s
sleep. On a success, you have -2 to DX,
IQ, and self-control rolls.
Drunk: You are highly intoxicated:
-2 to DX and IQ, and -4 to self-control
rolls except those to resist Cowardice.
Reduce Shyness by two levels, if you
have it.
I laugh in the face of danger, and then I hide
until it goes away.
– Xander, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Euphoria: You have a -3 penalty to
all DX, IQ, skill, and self-control rolls.
Nauseated: You have -2 to all attrib-
ute and skill rolls, and -1 to active
defenses. As well, roll vs. HT after you
eat, are exposed to a foul odor, fail a
Fright Check, or are stunned, and
every hour in free fall or in any situa-
tion where you might suffer motion
sickness. A rich meal in the past hour
gives -2; anti-nausea remedies give +2.
On a failure, you vomit for (25 - HT)
seconds – treat as Retching, below.
Pain: You have a penalty to all DX,
IQ, skill, and self-control rolls. This is
-2 for Moderate Pain, -4 for Severe
Pain, and -6 for Terrible Pain. High
Pain Threshold halves these penalties;
Low Pain Threshold doubles them.
Tipsy: You are slightly intoxicated:
-1 to DX and IQ, and -2 to self-control
rolls except those to resist Cowardice.
Reduce Shyness by one level, if you
have it.
