Special Mechanic - Addiction
When taking a drug, there’s a non-zero chance you may find a hard time stopping your use of them. When taking any of the consumables designated with the “Cursed?” rarity, roll a will save (you can use any mental stat). The starting DC is 5. On a success the DC raises by 1. On a failure, you must add to the ideals section of your character sheet that they are inclined towards the drug in question.
Your ideals being warped towards drugs doesn’t mind control them into taking as many as possible, it’s just that their everyday thought process includes the drug somehow. The DM can even force you to roll will saves to fight back the temptation of the drugs or to keep your mind on track.
