Blackout
Hive dissociative narcotic.
Crude dissociative narcotic manufactured in Hive pleasure dens from industrial solvents and synthetic opioids. Suppresses pain and erases short-term memory for 4 hours: immune to pain penalties, but must make a DC 12 Will save each hour or lose memory of that hour. Crash causes severe cognitive impairment (-3 Intelligence, -2 Perception) for 6 hours. Each dose requires a DC 12 Fortitude save; on failure the user develops Blackout dependency (cognitive fog, -2 Intelligence when clean). The cheapest escape on the Rim.
