Brain brine uses a per-creature random seed that isn't used by anything else. This means that simply using [[Precognition]] and RNG manipulation alone (such as through {{Favilink | Neutron Flux}}) will not alter its outcome for a given creature, nor will use of [[Domination]] or a {{Favilink | ganglionic teleprojector}}.

Reason: Mention what can and cannot be rerolled with Precognition (e.g. general type of result and the specific mutation cannot, but rumors can).
brain brine is a rare liquid usually found inside random reliquaries located within the Tomb of the Eaters. If it is a part of a mixed liquid, or an item is stained with brain brine, they become nervous. A phial of the liquid can also be found on the alchemist.
Sources of Brain Brine
- The alchemist is guaranteed to have one dram of brain brine for sale.
- reliquaries in the upper crypts of the Tomb of the Eaters will often contain phials of brain brine.
Drinking Brain Brine
When a creature drinks brain brine, they become confused for 20–30 turns.[1]
For the player only (including bodies temporarily dominated by the player), once the confusion ends (by any means), there are further effects.[2] They will receive the message "You shake the water from your addled brain, but someone else's thoughts have already taken root", lose one point of Ego, and receive an occurrence drawn randomly from the following table:
Weight | Chance | Result |
---|---|---|
20 | 14.8% | Get 2-3 random skills |
20 | 14.8% | Gain 400-500 Skill Points |
10 | 7.4% | Gain 2-3 Intelligence |
10 | 7.4% | Gain 2-3 Willpower |
30 | 22.2% | Learn 6-8 random secrets |
30 | 22.2% | Gain one positive mental mutation |
15 | 11.1% | Gain one random mental defect |
If the affected creature is a Chimera and the result would otherwise give them a mental mutation or a defect, they receive the message "Your mind begins to morph but the physiology of your brain restricts it." instead.
Strategies
Brain brine uses a per-creature random seed that isn't used by anything else. This means that simply using Precognition and RNG manipulation alone (such as through neutron flux) will not alter its outcome for a given creature, nor will use of Domination or a ganglionic teleprojector. However, clones have their own random seeds, so it is possible to force a desired result using those methods plus a source of cloning.
