Hey, I'm just about to start playing in an Eclipse Phase game, the entire group being new. And I've made the terrible decision of playing someone not only with three debilitating psychological disorders and a massive debt to The Vory on Titania, but also as someone with a Major Drug Addiction (courtesy of one of the aforementioned Disorders). Now, the rules for Major Addiction says: [b]Major:[/b] [i]A character with a major addiction is on the rapid road to ruin. [b]They face cravings every 6 hours[/b], and suffer a penalty of –10 DUR (physical addiction) or -20 to Willpower Stress Tests (mental addiction). If they fail to get their regular dosage, they suffer a –30 modifier on all actions until they do. If their life hasn’t already been ruined by their obsession, it soon will be.[/i] I'm addicted to Comfurt, so that's -20 to Willpower Stress Tests, but what I'm wondering about are the cravings. Is that:

• Every 6 hours, regardless of the duration of the drug?

or

• Every 6 hours without being under the influence of the drug?

With Comfurt having a duration of 8 hours, it's obviously very relevant whether I can go 6 hours without indulging in the drug or not, and it makes the difference as to whether I eat two or three of these things per day. Drugs are [i]expensive[/i]. I also like the idea of taking two hits a day and then going to bed, only to wake up with a pounding head, existential crisis, and an intense craving for your favourite yoghurt.
