Upon taking this drug, either a tablet or an injection, the recipient gains powers based on the source of that drug, such as Banshee MGH grants the ability to release a damaging sonic scream. Other sources can grant other powers such as enhanced healing, flight, etc.If a mutant or other super powered being that had their genetic make altered that takes MGH will have their own powers greatly enhanced, regardless of the source of the MGH and it's powers.MGH lasts for 5 hours, afterwards the recipient suffers -2 Con penalty, reduce speed by half, -2 to attack rolls and all skills, and are exhausted until they rest for 8 hours.If a Mutant, or other being with modified genetic makeup, takes the drug,  any mutant powers they have are enhanced. Abilities with variable results (for example attacks that deal damage such as 1d6) are doubled (a claw attack that normally deals 1d6 now deals 2d6); fixed value abilities, such as speed, Ability score modifiers, other bonuses, are tripled (a mutant ability that grants flight of 20 ft is increased to 60, or grants a Fort save bonus of +2 is now +6). Once the drug's duration expires, the mutant suffers -4 Con, -2 Dex and -2 Str penalties, speed reduced to half, suffer -4 to all attacks and skills and exhausted until they rest for 8 hours.It is possible to take a second dose before resting, however the duration of the second dose is only 4 hours and the penalties are doubled. Taking a third dose only provides the effects for 30 minutes and the penalties are tripled, and requires 16 hours of rest to recover.MGH is quite addictive, after each use, the recipient must make a Will save DC 15 +1 per each use after the first use, or become addicted. Once addicted, the user must have at least one dose a day or suffer the effects of the penalties after a single dose. An addicted user can attempt to kick the addiction, but requires a Fort save DC 20 made once a day for 5 days. 5 successful saves in a row and the person has kicked the addition, but if they use MGH again, the Will save to prevent addiction is the same as when they last used MGH +5.Weight: 1 dose is 12 oz.PDC: 30Res: Illegal +5Examples of MGHDazzlerThis MGH is derived from a mutant named Dazzler with the ability to convert sound into light.
