 ====== Medicaments ====== ====== Medicaments ======
  
-Medicaments are pharmaceuticals used with [[game items#injectors]] to produce game effects on characters. In order to be used, Medicaments must be applied either using an injector or by a [[professional skills#Physician]] using appropriate roleplaying equipment.+  * Medicaments are pharmaceuticals that produce game effects. They are sold by [[Lazarus Corporation]], and are represented by Ampoule props with lammies inserted into them. 
 +    * Each Ampoule can hold up to 5 doses of a single Medicament. 
 +    * Please return empty Ampoule props to NPCs in play or in your Downtime pack. 
 +  * [[professional skills#Physician]] characters can apply a Medicament with 30 seconds of Roleplayed Action. 
 +  * Any character can apply a Medicament that is loaded into an [[game_items#Injector]] instantly. 
 +    * Any character can load a Medicament Ampoule into an Injector with 30 seconds of Roleplayed Action. 
 +  * When you apply a dose of an Injector, you must tick down the dial on the Ampoule. Where applicable, choose the MODE, as indicated on the Lammie. 
 +  * [[professional skills#Corporeal Science|Corporeal Scientist]] characters can apply some [[Exotic Reagents]] to Medicament Ampoules with 1 minute of Roleplayed Action. 
 +    * An applied Reagent affects all doses remaining in the Ampoule, but is removed if the Ampoule is refilled. 
 +    * Reagents usually affect the numbers or durations of the Medicament, which are indicated by blue or yellow shaded boxes on the lammie.
  
-Medicaments are represented in-game with a tear-edge lammie. The lammie will indicate its effects on the back, and also has a space to stick [[Exotic Substances]] stickers to. While the medicament is taking effect or still in effect, you should retain the lammies for any medicaments you have taken.+Medicaments are pharmaceuticals used to produce game effects on characters - each one is a medical marvel, an advanced mixture of complex chemicals, biotech or nanotechnology. They are designed to be chemically morphic, able to be adapted to a wide range of species' physiology by physicians or automated injectors in the field, and remain stable in harsh conditions. The most recent formulations can also be switched between various modes, allowing them to either treat or prevent a wide range of [[Conditions]]. The term Medicaments ("medic-a-mons") became preferred over pharmaceuticals in the first few centuries of the [[Ascendancy]], when the aggressively Francophone [[Noble Houses#House Clervoy]], who produced the majority of drugs at the time, insisted on the term for all of their pharmaceutical products. In the intervening period, the term has stuck and become the standard term for translator technology.
  
-The term Medicaments became preferred over pharmaceuticals in the first few centuries of the [[Ascendancy]], when the aggressively Francophone [[Noble Houses#House Clervoy]], who produced the majority of drugs at the time, insisted on the term for all of their pharmaceutical products. In the intervening period, the term has stuck and become the standard term for translator technology.+Medicaments are represented in-game with an Ampoule prop with a lammie insert containing the rules for that particular Medicament, and a dial indicating the remaining doses. In order to be used, Medicaments must be applied either using an injector or by a [[professional skills#Physician]] using appropriate roleplaying equipment. A Physician can administer a dose after 30 seconds of roleplayed action. Alternatively, a dose can be administered instantly by any character when it has been pre-loaded into an Injector. Loading a Medicament Ampoule into an Injector can be done by any character and takes 30 seconds. When you use a dose from an Ampoule, choose a single MODE shown on the lammie and tick the dial down by one step. Once an Ampoule has zero doses left it cannot be used, but can be refilled (at a cost) by the Lazarus Corp representative or other NPC in the Corp area each event, who will also have Ampoules to sell. The Lazarus Corp representative can also directly administer any Medicament if no Ampoules are available. If you no longer have use for an Ampoule prop, please return it to Games Ops so it can be re-used.
  
-At events, various Medicaments can usually be purchased from one or more [[MegaCorps]], typically those with an interest in biotech (such as [[Lazarus Corporation]]) or equipment (such as [[Advanced Armaments]]).+Corporeal Scientist characters can apply [[Exotic Reagents]] to Ampoules, by sticking the sticker over the rectangular space on the lammie (with the Medicament name and symbol in it). This process takes 1 minute of Roleplayed Action, as with applying any other Exotic Substances. An Exotic Reagent applied to the Ampoule and will affect all doses remaining. If the Ampoule is refilled by any number of doses, the Exotic Reagent sticker is removed. Medicament Lammies now have coloured boxes around relevant parts of their described effect, which indicates how Exotic Reagents affect them. Arcigolite and Fermite (which double or halve Durations) affect the numbers highlighted in Blue. Omnicatalyst and Spectrum Inhibitor (which increase or decrease effectiveness) affect the numbers highlighted in Yellow.
