1
A consumable Snake Oil that lets you tolerate pain and distractions.
Used by Murdoch, Created by Strazhari.
( You must obviously use this Artifact to activate this Effect. When activating this Effect, this Artifact is obviously Alien and cannot be concealed under your clothes or similar.)

A small metal bottle filled with a foul smelling substance not unlike used motor oil. Anyone who can force it down will feel like they were struck by lightning - ignoring all penalties for the duration.

The Metal Bottle has a tag proclaiming it to be "Old Man Murdock's Kickstarter Snake Oil - will get you on your feet & rooting, tooting, jivving, jiving & feeling the groove in no time!"

Trauma roll is usually addiction based. Contains Stimulants, subjects will be unable to sleep for 15+ hours


Use up this Snake Oil and spend an Action. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma.

Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is reduced to 0. Lasts three hours.

You may move at your normal speed and still maintain Concentration. Taking an Injury less than Severity 6 no longer interrupts Concentration.

If you are Stunned, asleep, drugged, or otherwise made unconscious for any reason other than being Incapacitated, you may Exert your Mind to wake up. Any penalty which was caused by this condition is removed.

  • This consumable is destroyed when used and cannot be used again.
