Battle Stims

Does not work on robots

Battle Stims are tailored performance enhancers that can be formulated to give you a boost to any stat or skill, giving the user a dynamic +1 to their actual roll when using that skill or stat. It lasts about 15 minutes under duress, and longer if the user is in a calmer state. There is, however, a chance that you might develop an addiction to them. Please tell us which type of stim you'd like when you buy.

None Required

• Stims can be used for any skill or stat
• Effects last for 15 minutes, or ten turns - whichever is more
• Gives an immediate +1 to the roll in question post-calculation
• Excellent for if you're in a really tight spot
• Can only be used once
• Can stack infinitely
• Using higher concentrations increases risk of developing addiction (starts at 1 in 36 and goes up by triangular numbers per extra uses in rapid succession)
• Addiction causes withdrawal symptoms and occasional uselessness in combat to persons with low willpower, akin to panicking - happens at most once per mission and is decided at the mission start (though the roll will be kept secret)
• Addiction fades over time by reverse triangular numbers from 36 in 36
• Battle stims are available for onboard use under-the-counter from the Armory
