Herbs – Addictive

PG 102 ARPG

Addictive (Optional): As an optional rule the chronicler may apply this Addictive quality. The first time the character imbibes a medication with an Addictive difficulty rating they must perform a Mettle: Perseverance Action Skill Roll or become Addicted to the drug’s effects. If the character fails this Action Skill Roll they must spend a Fate point or gain the Addicted flaw (keyed to that particular substance). Every additional time the character takes a potentially addictive drug in the same week, the chance of becoming addicted increases by one difficulty rating (+5 TN). If the Chronicler is not utilizing the Addictive rules, instead impose a once per day use limit on any item with an Addictive quality.

I think that limiting Addictive drugs to once per adventure would be sufficient.. it limites their use and doesn’t require GMs to look up more and more rules
