Alchemy: Hostile Elixirs II

More hostile elixirs. Potion of Madness is relatively easy to resist, but lasts a long time and messes up the imbiber's mind. Powder of Hatred/Jealousy/Lecherousness are often used to subtly alter someone's mind.

Potion of Madness

This potion causes the subject to temporarily go insane, adding him the appropriate disadvantages (for example, Berserk, Bestial, Chronic Depression, Confused, Delusions, Flashbacks, Paranoia, Phantom Voices, Phobia, etc.). The subject resists with Will against the brewer’s Alchemy/Herb Lore skill. Then, the subject must lose a second Quick Contest of Alchemy/Herb Lore vs. Will. This Alchemy/Herb Lore roll is at -1 per full -5 points of disadvantages applied (chosen by the brewer during the brewing).
