From the Bad Batch “Been holding onto those awhile…”

1
A consumable “hush puppy” that lets you cure diseases and poisons.
Used by Nan Akson, Created by lumiq.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect is very likely to be disturbed to see Target is made to puke and “hush puppies” often include mold, teeth, hair, etc.. )

Nan fishes a small ball of dough out of her pocket and gives it to the target to eat. None of her food is exactly “good”, but even by Netherworld standards, this tastes a little off… she fixes them with a hard stare that dares them to spit out her food, but after chewing a minute, it becomes too much, and the target pukes up everything, including whatever ailed them in the first place.

Use up this “hush puppy” and spend 1 minute to activate. Select a Living target within arm's reach.

You may cure any single disease or poison afflicting your target even if you have not diagnosed or fully understood it. You may only cure diseases which can be treated with modern medicine. During treatment, the malady you are treating does not progress or cause additional damage or other effects.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Target is made to puke and “hush puppies” often include mold, teeth, hair, etc..

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • This consumable is destroyed when used and cannot be used again.
  • Without some sort of diagnostic Effect, “fully diagnosing” a disease or poison will always require a roll of some sort, frequently Intellect + Medicine, but the specific roll and difficulty is at GM’s discretion.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.

After the scare they experienced in one of their contracts, the doc used their expertise to alter their liver such that it creates antibodies which can cure anything known to man. This was a terrifying process of trial and error, and at least three hospital visits, but they've got it to a point theyre satisfied with. The only downside is that the antibodies and enzymes don't yet spread quickly enough throughout her body, so she has to manually inject herself if the passive amount in her blood doesn't fight off a problem. The good news is, whatever she did, the stuff she pulls from there seems to even work on robots, or the like - simply being injected into any opening that can be made on the target will make it slowly seek out and neutralize the problem.
