CHEMISTRY

Chemistry is the mastery of mixing the natural elements of the world and creating a useful and sometimes deadly product. Chemistry creates Elixirs, which can be imbibed similar to potions to have an effect on the drinker, Salves, which can be applied to a surface for some effect or so that the next unlucky soul to touch it is exposed to the chemical, and finally Vials of toxic chemical that can have assorted effect on the target. Unless otherwise stated, you must have the rank of Chemistry equal to the production rank of the item in order to use it.

Salves- Requires a 3 count to apply to a target or surface.

Elixirs- Requires a 3 counted action to drink; doing so requires no special skill. To add the Elixir to food or drink requires a 3 counted and must be done in front of a Marshal; the first person to imbibe the food/drink will take the effect.

Vial- These are a thrown item and require the use of a packet, preferably orange. To throw the Vial the player must announce “Poison Vial”. Since it is an actual item they are throwing, they must have a free hand with which to throw the Vial and once the verbal has been said they have 3 seconds to throw the Vial or it is wasted. Vials function much like spells in that they affect the target if it strikes any part of them, their garb, or possessions.

Blade Poison- These poisons can be applied to a weapon that can be used at a later time. Up to 1 Blade Poison can be stored on Short Weapons/Thrown/Ammo, 2 on Medium/Long Weapons, and 3 on Great Weapons. In the case of Vorpal the weapon gains the effect of the Blade Poison for all attacks leading up to a successfully landed attack; for all other Blade Poisons it is consumed on the next swing hit or miss. It takes a 10 counted action to safely apply each poison to a weapon. If placed on Ranged weapons the effect is only good for a single attack hit or miss.

Acid Type: Vial Duration: Immediate Target takes damage of the specified amount, from volatile acid and fumes. The call for this Vial is different than the standard the call. The call is “Elemental Acid”.

Alchemical Solvent Type: Salve Duration: Immediate This substance will eat away and weaken the surface it is applied to. If it is applied to a surface that has a chemical salve already present it will neutralize it. If placed on an item or surface that is not Indestructible, the item becomes weak and requires 2 fewer points of Strength to break. 1 Dose of this salve will affect up to 1 square foot of surface, 1 inch thick.

Antidote Type: Elixir Duration: Immediate This elixir will cure the imbiber of any Metabolic effects that currently affect their person.

Antitoxin Type: Elixir Duration: Immediate This elixir will allow the imbiber to Resist the next Toxin that affects them.

Berserk Type: Salve, Vial Duration: 30 Minutes This chemical mixture causes the affected character to become Berserked, forcing them into a blind rage they will attack everyone in line of sight until the duration expires or they are unable to do so. This is a metabolic altering effect.

Blue Luster Type: Elixir Duration: 5 Minutes This chemical will make the imbiber immune to Fear effects for the duration.

Catalyst, Greater Type: Elixir Duration: Instant This chemical has no effect on its own, however when mixed with a potion that generates a protective, its effect multiplies. When the potion is in imbibed the effect will be double in some manner; if the effect has a duration then it is doubled, if the effect generates a shield/resist effect then it is doubled. This in fact grants the imbiber a double stacking of the same shield. It takes 1 minute to mix the elixir with the potion, after which the 2 tags must be clipped together, also once mixed they cannot be separated.

Catalyst, Lesser Type: Elixir Duration: Instant This chemical has no effect on its own; however, it can be mixed with up to 3 potions. This concentrates all 3 potions into a single vial, allowing all 3 effects to be gained on a single action. It takes 1 minute to mix the elixir with the potion, after which the tags must be clipped together. Also, once mixed, they cannot be separated.

Catalyst, Minor Type: Elixir Duration: Instant This chemical has no effect on its own, however when mixed with a potion that has a Restoration effect the effect of the potion is doubled. It takes 1 minute to mix the elixir with the potion, after which the 2 tags must be clipped together, also once mixed they cannot be separated.

Forget Type: Elixir Duration: Instant This effect will cause a character to forget the 15 minutes prior to imbibing the elixir. All they will remember for the time frame is a blank spot and nothing else from that time. This must be Role-played.

Hardening Agent Type: Salve Duration: 1 hour Applying this chemical to an item will increase its durability allowing the item to resist Shatter/Destroy effect once, after which the effects will fade.

Healing Type: Elixir Duration: Immediate Target is cured for 5 Body Points. This is non-magical healing.

Oil of Slipperiness Type: Salve Duration: Extended One dose of this oil covers up to one square foot and makes an area or item extremely slick. It can be used in a Counted Action to free a character from a Physical Entangle, Pin, Bind, or Web Effect. If placed on an object, it will make that object impossible to pick up (for 10 seconds from the first time it is touched). If on an area of ground or floor, anyone stepping into that area should roleplay sliding through or falling. This can be used as a Counted Action on a character not already subject to a Physical Entangle, Pin, Bind or Web (and not already so treated) to grant one Indefinite Resist (Physical Entangle, Pin, Bind, or Web), called as “Oil of Slipperiness.” An Oil of Slipperiness may also be used to dissolve a Paste of Stickiness (negating both).

Paralysis Type: Vial, Elixir, Salve Duration: 30 Minutes The target of this chemical becomes Paralyzed for the duration. During the duration they are still aware of the world around them so long as they are also conscious, but cannot move, speak, or use skills.

If the item treated touches another item for three seconds, the two stick together. This can be used to glue an item into a character's hand and this will automatically Resist the next Disarm/Fumble Effect against that item with the call, “Paste of Stickiness.” A Paste of Stickiness may also be used to dissolve an Oil of Slipperiness (negating both). A Disarm Effect targeting any item stuck to another item with Paste of Stickiness will remedy the effect of the Paste of Stickiness.

Red Luster Type: Elixir Duration: 10 Minutes This chemical forces the imbiber into a controlled Berserk effect, while under its effects the imbiber is immune to Fear and Shun effects, additionally if affected by a Berserk effect they do not lose control and gain +4 Base Weapon Damage verse the player that generated the effect.
