Since we're talking about chemical compounds rules, has anyone
thought about rewriting the addiction rules to cover the fact taht
most addicts don't die within 12 weeks ("the character loses 1/2 point
of essence pre week, and 1 box off his or her maximum condition
monitors")? this has always seemed to be kinda off to me.Then again,
it would be a really sneaky way to assasinate a heavily cybered
individual ("essence of 0.1? well, since you lose 1/2 essence per
week, that gives you about a day and a half to live...") <EGMG>
