Slow Acting Toxin Condition

The character has come into contact with a slow acting toxin, such as a venomous bite or food that has gone bad.

Effect

In the scene in which the character encounters the toxin, she suffers a Minor Complication on any physical action. If it isn’t resolved within the first scene, the Complication increases to Major and applies to all actions. Failure to buy off the Complication can result in suffering 1 injury, one of the character’s limbs locking up, full body paralysis, and/or delirium. The consequence depends on the type of toxin.

Resolution

Within the first scene, if the character removes the toxin or has an antitoxin administered, this Status Effect resolves. Otherwise, the Status Effect resolves after the character buys off the Complication on two subsequent actions or at the end of the game session, at Director discretion.
