1948: Drugs – 13 Battlefield Substances for d20 Modern

War has always had a dark pharmacopeia. The 1948: Drugs supplement documents 13 of the most widely available substances on the battlefields of 1948 — from life-saving morphine that keeps wounded soldiers in the fight, to cocaine-laced amphetamines doled out by the Nazi High Command to enhance their troops' bloodlust, to experimental compounds like endopsychidol designed to cripple the psychic powers of certain "special" individuals.

The Chemistry of War

This supplement doesn't shy away from the grim reality of wartime pharmacology. Steroids beef up elite soldiers. Experimental serums blur the line between science and horror. And since many of these drugs are extremely potent and highly addictive, this document includes full OGL rules for overdose, addiction, and recovery — along with an appendix of new conditions including headache, muscle pain, and depression.

This supplement features:

• 13 drugs including pervatine, morphine, steroids, methamphetamine, benzodiazepine, sodium thiopental (truth serum), phurium-932, and others
• Purchase DCs, availability, and side effects for each substance
• Full overdose, addiction, and recovery rules
• New conditions: headache, muscle pain, depression
