DROGAS

Allnight
This expensive drug is generally sold in wafer form. When ingested it acts as
a powerful stimulant, eliminating tiredness for up to eight hours. Once the
effects wear off, however, the user becomes completely exhausted. Side
effects include jitteriness and difficulty concentrating.
Cabble-Weed
This powerful sedative is made from a plant found in marshy soil along the
Yondabakari River in Varisia. It is generally mashed up and brewed into a
bitter tea and is not generally thought to be habit-forming.[2]
FlayleafEdit
Flayleaf is a wiry shrub with reddish-brown leaves that grows in almost any
temperate environment. Leaves are harvested and dried, and when smoked
produce a powerful sedative and hallucinogenic effect similar to
drunkenness. It is also a powerful analgesic and muscle relaxant, rendering
the user immune to most pain for up to four hours. It also causes the user to
become very susceptible to suggestion.[3] The berries of the flayleaf plant
are sometimes crushed and mixed with dream spider venom and
spiderberry tea to produce a potent hallucinogen called Riddleport Tea (see
below).[4] Unlike its cousin, the cabble-weed, flayleaf is sadly highly
addictive.[2] Cost varies across regions with a full pouch of it going for
around 12 gp in the highly permissive city of Riddleport in Varisia.[5]
Grit
Grit is an unpredictable drug created about 20 years ago in the Puddles
district of Absalom. It is manufactured by grinding down alchemically
enhanced barbarian chew, and mixed with toxic plant-based substances
such as bitterbark or redroot. Grit is generally sold as a powder which is
ingested, inhaled, or mixed with qat or flayleaf and smoked. Its effects vary
greatly depending on how it is made and who is ingesting it, but it has been
known to cause severe hallucinations, numbing, or uncontrollable rage. It is
very expensive and highly addictive, and users are often blamed for
escalating violent rampages in order to feed their habit.[6]
Heathensnuf
This drug is fairly common in the shadowy realm of Nidal, where it is taken
by citizens who wish to appear to be true believers in Zon-Kuthon. It imparts
a heightened tolerance to pain, an attribute much sought after there, but is

sadly addictive. Users can be identified by red-purplish stains around their

nostrils.[7]

Pesh
Pesh is a powerful stimulant and mild hallucinogenic made from the spoiled
milk of a cactus found predominantly in the country of Katapesh and
strangely enough, Darkmoon Vale.
Qat
Qat acts as a mild stimulant and euphoriant when its leaves are chewed.
Soldiers and warriors are known to use it before battle, although
commanders tend to discourage this practice as the drug is addictive.
Thileu Bark
Stripping the bark of the thileu tree (pronounced THIHL-ee-oo)[10] is a
secret process known only to the Varisian people. Powdered it is exported
around Avistan as a spice. Young Chelaxian nobles have taken to snorting
the powder, claiming that it causes hallucinations, although most others just
think that it burns their nasal passages and hurts a lot.[8] Sold as a spice it
can cost as much as 100 gp a pound.
Vayav
Vayav or "demon gasp"[12] is a rare intoxicant manufactured by the drow of
the Darklands. They use mushrooms harvested from the Midnight Mountains
of Orv and mix them with a number of their poisons to create a pulpy violet
mass that is smoked. Its effects include feeling euphoric and invincible and
it heightens both pleasure and pain stimuli. It is not only highly addictive to
the person smoking it, but can also causes dependence in anyone who
simply inhales the fumes exhaled by another. In the Darklands it can be
found for around 10 gp per dose, while on the surface it is generally not sold
for under 200 gp.[13]
Yellowcap mushrooms
Yellowcap mushrooms are grown in Andoran and have a mild hallucinogenic
effect when eaten. At one time they were very popular among the Andoran
nobility, although the drug's popularity has declined dramatically since the
revolution. These days, most people have never even heard of the fungus.
[14]
Bellaweed
This drug is made from the leaves of the small bellaweed plant, a thriving
desert vine that sports coarse, dark-green leaves and large, bell-shaped
white blossoms. The leaves are dried and finely chopped, then mixed with

the pulverized seeds of the plant. The mixture is then allowed to macerate
in wine for a time before being dried, producing a paste that can be smoked,
giving off a sickly odor.
Bellaweed is extremely addictive. Thrill seekers first try bellaweed to feel
the sensation of well-being and the surealistic visions inhaling the smoke
provides. But as more and more bellaweed is used, the taste for everything
else, including all that was important to the user before, begins to lose
ground before the need for the drug. Most of the people addicted to
bellaweed finish as docile slaves, unable to shrug off their addiction, slowly
losing their will, doing only simple and basic tasks while under the effect of
the bellaweed their masters provide.
Type: Inhaled, Fort DC 12; Addiction: Severe, DC 25; Slaking Period: 1
day
Side Efects: The user of bellaweed is considered helpless for the duration
of the Primary Effects.
Primary Efects: After 1d6 rounds, the user enters a state of euphoria and
begins to experience pleasing visions and hallucinations for the next 1d4
hours. The user is considered immune to fear effects and gaze attacks
during that time.
Secondary Efects: After the duration of the Primary Effects, real life
compared to the vision provided by the bellaweed seems dull and flat.
The user takes 1d2 points of Wis and Int drain until these scores get to 3,
after which they dont go down more from using bellaweed.
Overdose: The user becomes nauseated for 1d4 hours.
Craft: DC 14. Price: 2 bits.

Esperweed
The esperweed is a rare plant that grows in the Forest Ridge and on some of
the mudflats surrounding the Sea of Silt. The plant, which grows up to three
feet high, has a brownish-green stalk that turns bright green near the
flowers and leaves at its top. The flowers each sport six reddish-orange
petals surrounding a bright red stamen. The root of the esperweed is a
potent psionic stimulant that must be used within a week of being picked,
unless somehow magically kept fresh (as through the Nurturing Seeds spell).
The roots of one plant give 2d4 doses.
Type: Ingested, Fort DC 15; Addiction: Moderate, DC 15; Slaking Period:
1 day.
Side Efects: The user becomes nauseated for 1 minute.

Primary Efects: The user begins to regain one power point per minute, up
to 10% above his normal power point limit (round down). The user also
gains the empathy power. These effects last for one hour, after which he
loses all remaining power points above his normal limit. These extra power
points, if any, are spent first when manifesting powers (much like temporary
hit points).
Secondary Efects: The user takes 1d4 points of Strength damage.
Overdose: The user takes a 4 penalty to Will saves for the next 2d6 hours.
Craft: Price: 250 Cp.
Esperweed, Refined
This drug is obtained from the distillation of common esperweed roots. It
takes 4 doses of normal esperweed to create one dose of refined
esperweed.
Type: Ingested, Fort DC 22; Addiction: Severe, DC 20; Slaking Period: 7
days
Side Efects: The user becomes nauseated for 2d10 minutes
Primary Efects: After the duration of the Side Effects, for the next 1d4+5
minutes, the user gains a +5 bonus to his effective manifester level. He also
begins to regain one power point per round, up to 20% above his normal
power point limit (rounded down). After the duration of the Primary Effects
end, he loses all remaining power points above his normal limit. These extra
power points, if any, are spent first when manifesting powers (much like
temporary hit points).
Secondary Efects: The user takes 1d4-1 points of Strength, Dexterity and
Constitution damage.
Overdose: The user gains a 2 negative levels to every psionic classes he
possess for 24 hours. Whenever the users level is used in a die roll or
calculation, reduce it by -2 for each psionic class he possesses. At the end of
the 24 hours, the user must make a successful Will save (DC 25) or lose one
negative level from any psionic class they possess (players choice). This
has the same effect as if the character suffered from a permanent level
drain caused by an energy drain attack, except that the class level lost may
not be the most recent level the character acquired.
Craft: DC 25 plus Psicraft DC 15. Price: 1,500 Cp.
Nko Shard
This drug is obtained from the crystallization of the pale blue leaves of the
nkoma plant. This small plant is found throughout the Tyr Region, growing
in bushes near oasises and water holes. The shard must be held in contact

with the skin, often by means of wrappings, for 10 minutes before its effects
can be felt. The crystal shard leaves a permanent pale-blue stain in the
shape of the crystal where it was in contact with the skin; recurrent users
have a great deal of skin surface tinted a telltale blue color. This drug is
mostly used in the gladiatorial arena and by nomadic warriors.
A user of a nko shard gets an increase in his reflexes and an inordinate
amount of split-second perception a kind of supernatural sixth sense
resulting in heightened combat senses, at the cost of being less attuned to
details surrounding him, resulting in a visual haze somewhat akin to that
experienced by an individual with vision impairment.
Type: Contact, Fort DC 15; Addiction: Moderate, DC 15; Slaking Period: 2
days
Side Efects: The user takes a 4 penalty to Perception checks for the next
12 hours.
Primary Efects: For the next 1d2 hours, the user gains a +1 bonus to
melee attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
Secondary Efects: The users vision becomes blurred, so all opponents
are considered to have concealment (20% miss chance) relative to the nko
shards user.
Overdose: The user is blinded for 2d4 hours.
Craft: DC 18. Price: 20 Cp.
Shrinebush Fumes
This dangerous drug was used by Green Age religions in cathartic
ceremonies that sometimes ended in the death of its participants, and was
reserved for the grand priests of the time. The drug is made from the dried
leaves of a mature shrinebush plant, which grows on graves and is said to
have a connection to the Gray. The plant became more common with the
advent of mass graves during the Cleansing Wars, but its use in the making
of this drug was nearly forgotten during those conflicted times. To be used
to contact a spiritthe most common reasonthe drug must be inhaled
within 10 feet of a corpse, or piece of corpse, whose spirit the user wishes to
contact.
Type: Inhaled, Fort DC 23; Addiction: Minor, DC 17; Slaking Period: 3
days.
Side Efects: The user falls unconscious for the duration of the Primary
Efects.
Primary Efects: For 1d10 minutes, the drugs user creates a
temporary mindscape that it uses to attempt contact with spirits dwelling in
the Gray, in a manner similar to the speak with dead spell, but with only a

25% chance of successfully contacting the targeted spirit. If successful, the

user can ask up to one question per minute to the spirit. If unsuccessful, it is
the other spirits near the mindscape that answer the questions and
communicate with the user, lying and creating answers as their alignment
and agendasif anyallow.
A serious danger to creating such a mindscape is that any undead outside
the mindscape can communicate with the user and will often try to lure him
into the void. Due to imperfections in the manifestation of the mindscape
such undead can enter its boundaries as a free action, and those that have
the possession ability can attempt to possess the users physical body.
Secondary Efects: The mindscape is not as perfect as one created by a
spell or power and lets some of the Gray energies pass through it, making
such mindscapes rather unsafe to use. The users life force is slowly sucked
out into the Gray; upon failing his save he takes 1 negative energy level of
damage, which is permanent if he fails a second save 24 hours later.
Overdose: The user enters an unconscious state and produces a mindscape
that is even more permeable than usual to the energies of the Gray. He is
considered as being nearly in the void and he must make a Will save (DC 20
+ the number of previous saves) each minute for 1d10 minutes or perish.
Users cannot use the drugs Primary Effects while in an Overdose-induced
mindscape.
Craft: DC 32. Price: 3,500 Cp.
Weomre Sap

properties. The leaf, when rid of the jeipug mites that live in the shade
underneath, increases psionic abilities when eaten. The weomre bush is
exclusively found in the Crescent Forest.
Type: Ingested, Fort DC 17; Addiction: moderate DC 15; Slaking Period: 1
day
Side Efects: None.
Primary Efects: The user gains a +1 bonus to its effective manifester level
for the next 1d10+15 minutes.
Secondary Efects: 1d2 points of Wisdom damage.
Overdose: The user becomes nauseated for 1d4 hours.
