Tonic Allergy (D)

You are allergic to tonics.

The chance your mutant physiology reacts adversely to a tonic is increased to 33%.
If you react adversely this way to a salve or ubernostrum tonic, the adverse reaction effect is chosen randomly from among other tonic effects. You will still heal.

Tonic Allergy (D) is a physical defect that raises the chance of reacting adversely to tonics up to 33% (up from the default 5% for mutants). Creatures with this defect also may have a random adverse reaction in response to salve injectors or ubernostrum injectors, which don't ordinarily cause adverse reactions. The effect is chosen randomly from other adverse tonic reactions.

Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

• Provides four extra points for choosing other starting mutations

Disadvantages

• Makes all injectors riskier to use
• Can cause random adverse reactions in response to salve injectors or ubernostrum injectors, making using these items to heal risky. Notably, this includes a chance for the Evil Twin (D) reaction from shade oil injectors
• This also applies to the freezing adverse reaction of luminous hoarshroom (which cannot be fully prevented by 100 cold resistance)
