==== [[Addictions]] ====
* New addiction mechanics simplifying the previous system.
* As before, using a substance comes with a percentage chance to become of becoming addicted. However, the withdrawal tiers now function differently and more simply. Now, every use of an addictive substance is a chance to increase the current addiction level by 1, from the minimum of 0 (no effects) to the maximum of 3.
* Instead of disabling corresponding withdrawal effects when an addictive substance's effects are active, withdrawal effects are now truly permanent and continue being active even if the character uses the corresponding substance. In other words, usage effects and withdrawal effects now stack.
* [[Hospital]]: Addiction removal is now tier based and depends on the current level. It now costs 250 P$ and 2 day periods of mandatory rest per level, up to 750 P$ and 6 day periods (1 full day) for treating a single Level 3 addiction.
* Addiction effects: To account for the possibility of med effects and withdrawal effects being active simultaneously, the following withdrawal effects have been modified:
** Nicotine withdrawal*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to 15.0%** Alcohol withdrawal*** Level 1: Need a drink (WIPlevel 1)applies to this character (see below), *** Level 2: Need a drink (level 2) applies to this character (see below), Agility -1*** Level 3: Need a drink (level 3) applies to this character (see below), Agility -2, IS tier +1, Hallucinations** Cannabis withdrawal*** Level 1: Mild munchies*** Level 2: Minimum Stress set to 15.0%, Mild munchies, Mild thirst*** Level 3: Minimum Stress set to 30.0%, Intense munchies, Mild thirst** Anabolic steroid withdrawal*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to 30.0%*** Level 2: Minimum Stress set to 60.0%*** Level 3: Minimum Stress set to 90.0%, Rage** Sick hakutaku syndrome*** Level 1: IR +1*** Level 2: FT +1, IR +1*** Level 3: FT +1, IR +1, Hallucinations ==== [[Effects]] ====* Alcohol affinity ([[Oni]] creature trait): Effect simplified. Instead of both halving Inebriation received and doubling the Stress relief effect of [[Effects#Stress|Need a drink]] to compensate, this trait now simply doubles the Stress relief effect but gives the normal amount of Inebriation.* The "Need a drink" effect has been delineated into 4 variants; Level 0, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. In essence, the "Need a drink" effect progressively offers less and less Stress relief per Inebriation gained as your character's level of Alcohol addiction increases.
