Things in the Medicine Cabinet at the Adept’s House…

Ever wonder what’s behind the mirror?

Things discovered over the past ten weeks…

1.) A jockstrap, covered in chocolate sprinkles, with a mule hoofprint on it. Whatever else is going on in their life, it’s certainly not overwhelmingly dull.

2.) Cough Drops. When hurled at the ground, they induce coughing in a five foot radius, unless they make a Body roll at -5%. Fairly easy to recover from, initially, but if one fails, you’re out for as long in minutes as you missed the roll by. On a BOHICA, you’re going to start suffocating, until you drink a glass (or equivalent) of water. Usually in a blisterpack of 8 to 12.

3.) Contact Lenses. When worn, permit a temporary view of the Astral plane, for about Soul-15 minutes. Afterwards, they can cause eye irritation, and a -10% shift in Notice rolls. Supposedly, more permanent versions exist, and require a minor charge to work for an hour and a half.

4.) Makeup kit. When used, it can end an argument with the wearer, if properly applied (a Mind check). Useful, ain’t it? If a guy wears it, he’ll just look odd, but it’ll work, just the same. Unless he got in an argument for looking like a dead Thai hooker in drag.

5.) Band-Aids. Effectively, one-shot uses of a minor heal effect, but they only last six hours and thirty-three minutes. Win some, lose some. Box of twenty.

6.) Condoms. What? You expected otherwise in this sexually-unsafe world? Jesus.

7.) Hand lotion. Applied to one’s hands, it will cause them to do firearm damage for 100-Body in munites, if it strikes an unclothed area of one’s target; the damage is illusionary, and will only produce up to unconsciousness, but not death. Does not work on unnatural creatures; so, no clocking the clockworks, bub.

8.) Nail clippers. These oddities can turn your fingernails into somewhat lethal weapons; when used, they flick the removed nail portions at their target, causing firearms damage, cut in half, per shot. Up to one shot per round, no more than ten rounds of fire available. Unless you have more than ten fingers. Use a Firearms roll to operate successfully. Always leaves hangnails as a result of use, which is somewhat painful.

9.) Temporary tattoos. When applied, the tattoos begin migrating around your body, offering a +10% shift on intimidating efforts. It’s hard not to look intimidating when you have a giant set of red dripping letters across your face which read “I EAT DEAD PEOPLE”. Then again, it’s also hard to look like a decent human being, either. They wear off in about an hour or so.

10.) Rash ointment. When applied topically to an opponent, induces a rash in their skin, causing horrible itching which feels bone-deep. But, on the bright side, it’s something you have in common. If you were less rash about using it, you’d notice the container is smeared in the stuff. Lasts about two days.
