I use the ST rule, average life of an addict = 2 months?
I agree that ST is too fast, but I haven't messed with it yet. I've got
like, 2 players, and both want to be magicians, hrm, so they stay clear
of the stuff. drat!
how about one point per month? [1/2 per 2 weeks]
that gives the average addict [say, essence 5] a five month problem?
If you really want to get involved, have it vary for each drug.
Most herion addicts last much longer that cocaine/crack/etc. addicts.
