Whether the trip is good or bad, trips last
for an hour per TP and the following effects occur:
• Physical Fitness is temporarily increased by
half the number of TP
• Strength is temporarily increased by half the
number of TP
• Bodily Attractiveness is permanently
reduced by ¼ of an Ability point
• Health is permanently reduced by half of
an Ability point
• Rhetorical Charisma is temporarily reduced
by half the number of TP
• Language is temporarily reduced by ¼ the
number of TP
• Math is temporarily reduced by the
number of TP
• Analytical Intelligence is temporarily
reduced by half of the TP
• Spatial Intelligence is temporarily reduced
by half of the TP
• Drive is temporarily increased by half the
number of TP
• Intuition is temporarily increased by the
number of TP
• Common Sense is temporarily decreased by
half the number of TP
• Life Points are temporarily increased by a
percent equal to TP
Temporary adjustments do not take effect
until 30 minutes after ingestion, and endure until
the last hour of tripping before sobering. Adjustments
remain in effect even while the character is
unconscious.

Disease
Diseases 1 are the introduction of any harmful
change that interferes with the appearance, structure,
or function of the body or any of its parts.
Anthrax
This is a contagious disease of warmblooded
animals and characters. One of the oldest
known diseases, it has reached epidemic proportions
in the past. Animals acquire the disease from drinking
water that is draining from contaminated soil, in
which the infectious bacteria may live for years; from
eating infected carcasses and feedstuffs; and from
the bites of bloodsucking insects. The disease, sometimes
manifested by staggering, bloody discharge,
convulsions, and suffocation, may be fatal almost
immediately in acute cases and within 3-5 days in
subacute cases. In characters, the disease appears in
both external and internal forms, with a death rate
of about 20%. The external or cutaneous form is
contracted through cuts or abrasions in the skin by
those who handle infected hides and carcasses and
may be self-limiting, but often disseminates into the
bloodstream, with fever and prostration. The external
form is characterized by malignant pustules
on exposed skin areas. The internal type is acquired
by inhaling anthrax spores, as from animal hair and
wool, which invade the lungs and sometimes the
intestinal tract to cause hemorrhage.
Bubonic Plague
This is an acute, infectious, contagious disease
of rodents and humans. It is characterized by
the appearance of enlarged and inflamed lymph
nodes in the groin (01-33%), on the armpit (34-66%),
or the neck (67-100%). It is transmitted by the bite
of any of numerous insects, most notably the rat
flea. The odds vary of the fatality of the bubonic
plague. The likelihood of fatality is [20 + (1d6 x
10)]%.
1. Although Fatal Games made the effort, no evidence of venereal diseases have been found in the Middle Ages.
