Notes
Benefit: Retroviral gene-therapy that rewrites the body's repair rate. Heal 1 HP per hour passively instead of per day of rest, gain +2 to Fortitude saves for natural recovery from disease and poison, and regrow minor tissue over weeks. Moderate benefit level. This is an out-of-combat recovery economy, not a combat heal.
Install Risk: Medicine DC 18 for the retroviral course over several days. Recipient makes a Fortitude save DC 15 or gains Botched: an immune overreaction, sickness for 1d4 days at -2 Fortitude. The black-grown variant adds a tumour risk on a natural 1 during the course (GM call).
Strain: High metabolism. You need double rations, and after a day without them you take -1 to Fortitude and endurance checks until fed. Accelerated turnover ages tissue slightly faster over a lifetime.
