Francis is addicted to a drug called Cold Brew. Cold Brew is illegal, though since it doesn’t routinely make its addicts behave anti-socially, most people turn a blind eye toward those who use it (-5 CP). It is hard to find (-5 CP) and is fairly expensive, costing 125 pennies/dose (-15 CP). Unfortunately for Francis, Cold Brew addicts have it rough. When they miss getting their fix, they must achieve 4 Ss (-4 CP) on a Con roll or suffer 5 dice of damage (-25 CP). This is a harsh addiction, but accepting it nets Francis 54 CP to spend elsewhere.
