Enhancement Items
Sometimes you just need a little something extra...and through the miracle of modern medicine, drugs have been developed to help get the most out of your body in a pinch. Developed by the most reputable of medical labs, these compounds will help you push beyond your limits!
Enhancement Items can be found in many areas of society; they are broadly legal in most galactic laws, but more potent, dangerous, and illegal versions of these mostly-pharmaceutical items can be found in shadier places of the galaxy. Legal uses include medicinal treatments, athletic enhancement, soldier equipment (colloquially called "Stims"), and recreational use. To ensure safety of product, make sure to purchase from only licensed vendors!
These are One-Use Items that are consumed upon use; they may be given or used during combat as a Standard Action, and each occupy 1 Inventory Slot when carried. Be warned that these potent items, if misused or abused, may have long-term effects.
When a character uses an Enhancement Item, roll 1d100. If you roll a 5 or lower, the item will have the opposite effect.
These are crafted via Artisan: Medicine.
Side effects may include heartburn, itchy/watery eyes, fleas, indigestion, excessive halitosis, uneven tire wear, diarrhea, water-weight gain, lower back pain, flu, receding hairlines, low sperm count, incessant coughing, anxiety, tooth decay, lazy eye, unibrow, psoriasis, AIDS, loss of bladder control, hemhorroids, the shanks, M.S., E.D., V.D., itchy/chafing clothing, scoliosis, hammertoe, warped floors, feline leukemia, low resale value on your home, poor gas milage, sexual dysfunction, and in rare cases, death.

Name: MultiVit
Manufacturer: OmniCorp Pharmaceuticals
Price: 1000 gil
DC to Make: 200
Restrictions:
Description: A powerful dose of concentrated amino acids, proteins, and vitamins, the MultiVit pill, while horselike in nature, is definitely the go-to for an overall surge in body resilience. Raises a character's Max HP to 125% (x1.25) for 5 rounds. (Opposite Effect = Max HP reduced to 80% for 5 rounds)
Name: Bubble Pill
Manufacturer: Biological Space Laboratories
Price: 3000 gil
DC to Make: 500
Restrictions:
Description: A unique substance created from both natural and synthetic compounds, the Bubble Pill earned its name from some acronym buried in the lab work. Strange name or not, the Bubble Pill has increased the combat effectiveness of G-FED's soldiers an exponential amount. Raises a characters Max HP to 200% (x2) for 5 rounds. (Opposite Effect = Max HP reduced to 50% for 5 rounds)
Name: Vitamin A+
Manufacturer: Sarif Industries
Price: 1000 gil
DC to Make: 200
Restrictions:
Description: A unique stimulant that increases the body's resistance to infection and viruses, the "A+" supplement is a spin on the vitamin found in nature. Increases the Health statistic by 100 points for 5 rounds, but does NOT affect Hit Points or damage soak.
Name: ImmunoVit
Manufacturer: Cyrez Pharmaceuticals
Price: 3000 gil
DC to Make: 400
Restrictions:
Description: One of Cyrez's scientists almost skipped out on his contract after discovering this breakthrough -- almost. The ImmunoVit gives a subject great resilience versus adverse effects, especially biological ones. Gives a character 50% status immunity to Biological, Mental, and Spiritual status effects (1d100; >50, immune). The fine print reminds that some exceptions do apply.
Name: Med-X
Manufacturer: Cyrez Pharmaceuticals
Price: 1000 gil
DC to Make: 200
Restrictions:
Description: Med-X is a potent opiate analgesic that binds to opioid receptors in the brain and central nervous system, reducing the perception of pain as well as the emotional response to pain. In layman's terms, it's a run-of-the-mill pain killer delivered with a hypodermic needle. Raises physical damage soak by 100 points for 5 rounds.
Name: BuffOut
Manufacturer: Great Khan Chems, LLC
Price: 3000 gil
DC to Make: 400
Restrictions:
Description: A disarmingly simple chalky tablet, BuffOut is a popular performance-enhancing drug favored by soldiers, bodybuilders, and high-endurance bi-, tri-, or pentathlon athletes. Pain is merely an afterthought, even in the heat of marathon training sessions ... or heavy combat. Raises physical damage soak by 200 points for 5 rounds.
Name: Mentats
Manufacturer: OmniCorp Pharmaceuticals
Price: 1000 gil
DC to Make: 200
Restrictions:
Description: Designed to increase memory related functions and speed up other mental processes, these chalky red pills are a popular party drug favored for the boost it gives to creativity -- "Tune In, Turn On, Drop Out." Raises magical damage soak by 100 points for 5 rounds.
Name: NZT
Manufacturer: Sarif Industries
Price: 3000 gil
DC to Make: 400
Restrictions:
Description: A nitrogen-based psychotropic that impacts specific brain activity in several ways, most significantly by elevating receptivity and synaptic sharing between the hippocampus, the amygdale and the striatum. In controlled doses, taken over the course of a relatively short period of time, NZT enhances memory while "opening the mind to possibility," expanding their mental connection to the universe. Raises magical damage soak by 200 points for 5 rounds.
Name: Psycho
Manufacturer: Great Khan Chems, LLC
Price: 1000 gil
DC to Make: 200
Restrictions:
Description: A powerful boost of artificial and natural stimulants and adrenaline gives the user of "Psycho" a simulated adrenaline rush, similar to a combat high or a fight-or-flight situation. Excellent for those tight situations... and for combat brawlers. Raises the Strength statistic by 100 points for 5 rounds.
Name: EvanLift
Manufacturer: Biological Space Laboratories
Price: 3000 gil
DC to Make: 400
Restrictions:
Description: A powerful blend of stimulants, muscle tensors, and painkillers gives a character a burst of raw strength for a short time. Especially popular with competitive lifters, though finding out it's used earns suspensions. Raises the Strength statistic by 200 points for 5 rounds.
Name: Jet
Manufacturer: Great Khan Chems, LLC
Price: 1000 gil
DC to Make: 200
Restrictions:
Description: "Bullet Time in a Bottle" goes one of Jet's slogans, alluding to a popular film series that used slow-motion simulation in fight scenes. With a powerful mix of adrenaline (and even a touch of psychohallucinegins), a user can feel that same powerful rush of enhanced reaction time and speed. Raises the Awareness statistic by 100 points for 5 rounds.
Name: Minagen X3
Manufacturer: IllioTech
Price: 3000 gil
DC to Make: 400
Restrictions:
Description: A light, red, gaseous substance kept in an inhaler for safe vending and keeping, Minagen gives the user a swift kick in the spiritual energy. A special side effect of spiritual enhancement is "inspiration," or so the users say, which gives new insight and creativity in a pinch. It's rumored that Minagen X3 is a byproduct of a far, far more dangerous, illegal drug. Raises the Awareness statistic by 200 points for 5 rounds.
Name: Alacritrix
Manufacturer: Cyrez Pharmaceuticals
Price: 1000 gil
DC to Make: 200
Restrictions:
Description: A potent fusion of multiple unbranded chemicals, "Alactritrix" boosts the connection between neural receptors and muscle fibers, making each more responsive to the other and allowing more muscle groups to respond simultaneously. All in all, it claims to allow the body to maneuver in ways it didn't think was possible. Raises the Dexterity statistic by 100 points for 5 rounds.
Name: BioGenesis
Manufacturer: AntiBiotiX
Price: 3000 gil
DC to Make: 400
Restrictions:
Description: A unique blend of hormones and muscle stimulants gives a user a quick edge, pushing muscles harder, faster. Induces a light-adrenaline rush for the user, giving them quicker reactions and a "high" as a side effect. Not intended for athletic competitions! Raises the Dexterity statistic by 200 points for 5 rounds.
Name: Prozium
Manufacturer: Cyrez Pharmaceuticals
Price: 1000 gil
DC to Make: 200
Restrictions:
Description: An extremely powerful psychotropic medication originally designed to suppress wild emotions, violent outbursts in psychiatric patients, and combat highs, prozium has found lighter use for preventing stress, calming both mind and body, and providing an almost sedate, emotionless trance to its users. Raises the Spirit statistic by 100 points for 5 rounds.
Name: Melange
Manufacturer: Biological Space Laboratories
Price: 3000 gil
DC to Make: 400
Restrictions:
Description: A special, very, very expensive and rare spice, even the smallest dusting of melange boosts the spiritual presence of a user. It's rumored that it even grants long life and clairvoyance... but in high doses, it's addictive and lethal. Commercial melange is sold in tiny vials of sapphire blue dust. Raises the Spirit statistic by 200 points for 5 rounds.
Name: White Cat
Manufacturer: OmniCorp Pharmaceuticals
Price: 1000 gil
DC to Make: 200
Restrictions:
Description: When OmniCorp's researchers were testing a product, one of the subjects went on the lam and visited a casino. No one could explain why he nearly broke the bank at the place, but it caught the eye of the test team... so much so that they started manufacturing the substance and vending it. While certainly not guaranteed to work, its advertising lauds that today could be your lucky day, and you can "put a white cat in your path today." Raises the Luck statistic by 100 points for 5 rounds.
Name: Felix Felicis
Manufacturer: Lucens Alchemy
Price: 3000 gil
DC to Make: 400
Restrictions:
Description: A legendary formula created by a sect of wizards long-lost to the galaxy, Felix is an extremely difficult potion to craft... generally. However, a team of corporate alchemists have recently discovered a "shortcut," by substituting synthesized materials instead of naturally-occuring ones. This makes the effect somewhat less potent, but no less respectable. Its original brew was rumored to change one's entire life with a sip. Raises the Luck statistic by 200 points.
