== Psi Drugs ==
Research into the Watts-MacLeod strain has resulted in several exceptional breakthroughs involving the creation of psi-impacting drugs. Each of these drugs is in the experimental stage, but they are already finding some use among Firewall and similar secretive groupings.
'''Inhibitor:''' Inhibitor is a cocktail of neurochemicals that block some brain receptor and transmitter functions in an attempt to reduce psi-waves and block or impair sleights. This drug is commonly used to restrain async prisoners from using their abilities. A drugged character must make a WIL x 2 Test. If they fail, they lose all psi abilities for the drug’s duration. If they succeed, they suffer a –30 impairment on Psi skills and all strain is doubled. Inhibitor has an unfortunate side effect of doping the character down, however; apply a –10 modifier to their COG. Inhibitor-influenced characters tend to have a glazed, dopey expression and have difficulty getting excited or emotional. '''[High]'''
'''Psi-Opener:''' Psi-opener drugs are variants of the Watts-MacLeod strain with a temporary effect and which do not permanently alter the user’s brain. Psi-opener temporarily imbues the user with the ability to use one particular sleight, regardless of whether or not they have the Psi trait. Each type of Psi-opener is customized for a particular sleight. While primarily intended for non-asyncs, non-asyncs may not possess Psi skills, so they must default to WIL. For this reason, Psi-Opener is often doubled up with Psike-out. Using Psi-opener is a mind-wrenching experience. Users are occasionally subject to hallucinations (gamemaster discretion). When the drug wears off, it inflicts 1d10 points of mental stress, +2 if the drug imbues a psi-gamma sleight. '''[Expensive]'''

'''Psike-Out:''' Psike-out bolsters an async’s psi abilities. Apply a +20 modifier to the async’s Psi skill tests for the drug’s duration. However, also apply +2 to all strain DVs for the drug’s duration. Psike-out is mentally addictive, with an Addiction Modifier of –10. '''[Expensive]'''
