Secret chem idea I cooked up a while back - Roninnozlo - 07-15-2022

So a while back I got an idea for a secret chem but I didn't have a forums account but now I can actually post it in the suggestion thread instead of a discord channel woohoo

It's based off of a real life concoction called Theriaca. It was a concoction the greeks made, and they believed it to be a panacea for poisons and venoms and such. It had like, a million ingredients and I tried to find as many that had actual names, then ways to translate them into the SS13 game with equivalent chems.

The ingredients would be as follows:

  1. Honey
  2. Wine (Maybe white wine, if you want it more difficult)
  3. Cinnamon
  4. Charcoal
  5. Ginger Ale (Historically, just ginger)
  6. Morphine (Historically, opium)
  7. Space Soybean Oil (Historically, castor oil)
  8. Toxin/Histamine and Meat Slurry (Viper flesh was an ingredient, but you can't butcher rattlesnakes and shove mystery meat in beakers yet so)


Effects:
  • If below 50 TOX damage:
            - Heal 1 TOX for every unit in system per lifeloop
            - 50% Chance of healing 1 BRUTE, 1 BURN, and 1 OXY per lifeloop
            - 5% chance of dealing random organ damage
            - 2% Chance of either healing or dealing brain damage
  • If above or equal to 50 TOX damage and below 75 TOX damage
      - Heal 1 TOX per lifeloop  
            - 10% chance of healing 1 BRUTE or BURN per lifeloop  
            - 10% chance of dealing random organ damage  
            - 5% chance of dealing brain damage
  • If equal to 75 TOX damage:
      - Double depletion rate  
            - Chem now decays into 1u Morphine and 1u Ethanol for every unit depleted.
  • If above 75 TOX damage, but has BRUTE or BURN damage:
      - Deal 2 TOX per lifeloop  
            - 10% chance of healing 1 BRUTE or BURN per lifeloop  
            - 15% chance of dealing random organ damage   
            - 7.5% chance of dealing brain damage
  • If above 75 TOX damage, and has no BRUTE or BURN damage:
            - Deal 3 TOX per lifeloop
            - 25% chance of dealing random organ damage
            - 3% chance of vomiting up an internal organ
            - 15% chance of dealing brain damage


If it seems too strong or has weird and difficult requirements: It's supposed to be a secret chem, and some are based on real life stuff, I think. 

If it seems too complicated: it's supposed to emulate the fact it was believed to be a panacea but was obviously just some random shit mashed together and probably tastes bad and killed people a slightly ill greater domestic space-bee . 

In case you think I'm lying: No. Here's a picture of an actual theriaca vase I pulled off of wikipedia.

   

It's kinda supposed to act like calomel, in a way.

It's color coded, but each preview it randomly decides to fuck up my formatting, by adding in random blank lines or messing with the colors of the text.

So, what do you think?
