Actually, I thought up two for Toxin that I thought would be pretty perfect. Chemical Hypersensitivity and Sensory Hypersensitivity.
Chemical hypersensitivity is fun. First off, your addiction thresholds plummet. You can become addicted to soda with one or two sips. Also, every 5-10 units of a chemical you take causes an extra point of toxicity damage. So two sips of Grones, you take another point of damage. Pop a 50-unit pill to try and heal, you take 5 extra tox damage. The only thing that can help is a stomach pump, or a fucking ton of activated charcoal.
Sensory Hypersensitivity is nasty, though. Basically, everything gets amped the fuck up. Low lights make your eyes hurt, normal lights cause reduced vision, and if you get flashed your ass is blind, full-stop. Pain is a sense, and it's more intense as well. double damage from brute or fire damage. And you better believe that sound is going to suck too. Anything above a whisper has a nontrivial chance of giving you a migraine. And if someone screams, it acts like a vamp or abomination scream, you get knocked out. Too much toxin damage, and you better put on a blindfold, slap some earmuffs on, and find someone who can drag you to medbay for an immediate operation. Alternatively, you can keep the earmuffs on, put on a pair of sunglasses, and hope like hell that you don't take any damage from anything until you can get your hands on some industrial-strength painkillers.
