1Toxic Jungle

Rule: Toxin. Stage: Learning.

A toxin gauge rises by 1 every second you breathe the jungle air and falls by 2 in water or rain. At 50 you slow down, at 75 you weaken, at 100 it eats your health. A Filter Mask halves the gain, Root Broth halves it again for five minutes, and an Antidote takes 50 off at once.

+1/stoxin while you breathe the air
−2/sin water or under rain
100toxin, and it eats your health
