Radiation

Radiation is a poison effect, whose initial effect causes Constitution drain and secondary effect causes Strength damage.

Radiation dangers are organized into four categories: low, medium, high, and severe.

Radiation Level	Fort Save	Primary Effect	Secondary Effect
Low	13	1 Con Drain	1 Str damage/day
Medium	17	1d4 Con Drain	1d4 Str damage/day
High	22	2d4 Con Drain	1d6 Str damage/day
Severe	30	4d6 Con Drain	2d6 Str damage/day

Initial Effect: Radiation initially deals Constitution drain unless the exposed character succeeds at a Fortitude saving throw. A new saving throw must be attempted to resist radiation’s initial damage each round a victim remains exposed to it.

Secondary Effect: Secondary effects from radiation deal Strength damage at a much slower rate than most poisons. This secondary effect ends only after a character succeeds at two consecutive Fortitude saving throws to resist secondary radiation damage.

If a character has Strength damage equal to his current Strength score, further damage dealt a secondary effect is instead Constitution damage.

Removing Radiation Effects: All radiation damage is a poison effect, and as such it can be removed with any effect that neutralizes poison. Ability damage and drain caused by radiation damage can be healed normally.
