PHARMITECH BRAND
|
|
The oldest form of BodyTech by a large margin, PharmiTech is any sort of drug or
chemical that can be taken to enhance performance. While much more limited than
Cybernetics, PharmiTech is a cheaper alternative and thus continues to persist particularly
among the less affluent such as Gangers, despite the unpleasant side effects associated
with their use. PharmiTech is generally referred to as "Juice" or "Dope"
on the street and in the media and those that use it heavily are often called "Juicers".

|
|
STANDARD PHARMITECH
|
|
Several standard forms of PharmiTech are presented for your convenience.

PHARMITECH STRENGTH

PharmiTech can grant sizable boosts in Strength and usually the Strength gain is
over the entire body. BodyTech Strength is explained in detail on the
BodyTech page.

PUSHING

A character using PharmiTech to increase their Strength cannot also Push their Strength.

AUGER BRAND:
|
|
The Auger Brand of short term strength enhancers were originally developed for the
military years ago, but the long term effects were too severe and its use was discontinued.
However, they are popular on the street with Gangers as they are cheap, work fast,
and individual Gangers are often too ignorant and hopeless to conider the long term
damage they are doing to themselves.

A COMPLEX PHARMITECH BRAND
|
|
Most forms of PharmiTech are represented by fairly simple constructs based around
a single Aid, using the Expanded Effect Advantage to boost multiple characteristics.
However, more complicated builds are possible, as illustrated in this section. Some
GM's may not want to deal with the extra complexity of this style of PharmiTech,
so check with your GM before becoming attached to the idea.
|
|
An advantage to using complex PharmiTech of this sort is that though they combine
several boosts together they count as a single dose for purposes of determining
Long Term Side Effects. However the downside is they cost a lot more money, and
they often have deleterious effects bundled into them. Use the Complex option in
the cost calculator.
|
|
NOTE: Individual Aid's in Complex PharmiTech might have different Fade Rates;
use the longest term Fade Rate when determining cost.
