There is a limit to the number of simultaneous tonics that a creature can take without risking an adverse reaction. By default, this limit is one active tonic effect. The [[Juicer]] skill increases this limit by one. Additionally, [[Mutant]] characters always have a chance of an adverse reaction just from taking a tonic. | |||

If a creature takes a tonic while already at their limit, they must make a Toughness save (difficulty 16 + 3 per tonic over limit) for each pre-existing active tonic effect{{Code Reference|class = Tonic|method = HandleEvent}}. If any of these saves fail, a reaction occurs and the player will receive the message: "The tonics you ingested react adversely to each other." | |||
Mutants have a base chance of 5% of an adverse reaction. For mutants with the {{favilink|Tonic Allergy}} defect, this chance is increased to 33%{{Code Reference|class = Tonic|method = HandleEvent}}. If a reaction occurs, the player will receive the message: "Your mutant physiology reacts adversely to the tonic." | |||
When an adverse reaction occurs, the ingested tonic's effect is cancelled and its overdose effect is applied instead. | |||
