Line-Cutter
Surikov melee-enhancement cocktail for close-assault operatives.
Adrenaline-androgen blend developed by Surikov Dynamics for boarding actions and close-quarters assault. Grants +3 melee damage and +2 Strength for 5 rounds. Crash causes severe exhaustion (-2 Strength, -2 Constitution) for 2 hours as the adrenal system depletes. Each dose requires a DC 16 Fortitude save; on failure the user develops Line-Cutter dependency (withdrawal rage, -1 Strength and DC 12 Will save or attack nearest creature when clean). Restricted to military boarding teams.
