Buffs and Debuffs

Debuffs

When grinding IP, the lower your total skill value is, the quicker you will earn IP for said skill. There are a variety of ways to “debuff”, or temporarily lower, your stats.

• Bugshit and radiation is a good debuff for most main stats

Brawn	Hunger, Broken Limbs
Brains	Horny, Brain damage, frenzy
Cool	Remove @describe me as, horny
Senses	Wearing earplugs, wearing an eyepatch
Reflexes	Being full, weed
endurance	Hungry, weed

In addition to all these debuffs, rad sickness,stress and piss crystals also work well for drastically lowering some major stats.

Buffs

When done grinding IP, after a RAW score of 6, you’ll need to grind XP to gain any further RAW levels for that skill. Grinding XP usually includes killing things, crafting, etc. To make this easier, players usually “buff”, or temporarily raise, their stats. This makes whatever XP grinding task slightly easier to accomplish.

Brawn	Drunk, horny, frenzy, stimutac, beef juice boxes
Brains	catfish, peyote, caffeine
Cool	bling, cigarettes
Senses	caffeine, peyote, horny
Reflexes	cocaine, crank
endurance	crank
